It’s the first time either of them have been selected to an all star team since debuting in the majors.

Greene, 23, has 17 home runs and a .261 batting average this year. He’s listed as a reserve selection, so he won’t be starting the game.

Skubal, 27, is 10-3 on the season, rocking a 2.37 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP. He’s a leading candidate for the Cy Young award.

The 2024 MLB All Star Game is July 16 in Texas.
