ARLINGTON – Sure, Josh Jung imagined making the All-Star team. Pictured it, even. Put it down on the vision board he made for himself before the season. A...
The Rangers had three starters once before, in 2012, when they were coming off back-to-back World Series appearances. Josh Hamilton, Adrian Beltré and Mike Napoli were elected starters. They were part of a club-record eight-player contingent that also included manager Ron Washington.The Rangers got fan support like they’ve never experienced, for sure. But they also had strong individual cases. Heim leads all AL catchers in WAR, nearly a full win ahead of Rutschman.
Jung actually ranked fourth in WAR at third base, but his 16 homers, 48 RBIs, .815 OPS, solid defense and veteran poise seemed to make him stand out. Though Baltimore rookie Gunnar Henderson has come on strong in June, Jung has won the AL Rookie of the Month in each of the first two months of the season.
“To be here and have the kind of success he’s had, you have to have some confidence,” Seager said. “I think he’s shown that.” Said manager Bruce Bochy: “He did all he could do to make the team. He’s just had a tremendous first half.” Jung made the All-Star team because he’s played like a veteran. Also, he’s answered questions like one, too.“Potential,” he said. “That’s all it really says. It’s just one half. We’ve got a lot more in front of us.”
