4 Padres who deserve to represent San Diego at the 2023 All-Star Game in Seattle

Folks, the time has arrived for All-Star Game voting.

MLB released its 2023 All-Star Game ballot on Wednesday in anticipation of the Midsummer Classic happening this July in Seattle. And the San Diego Padres figure to send multiple representatives to T-Mobile Park despite their season struggles to date.

Here are four Padres who most deserve the opportunity to represent San Diego at the 2023 All-Star Game.

4 San Diego Padres who should be 2023 MLB All-Stars in Seattle

1. Juan Soto

Things have taken a complete 360 for Juan Soto over the last few weeks.

It wasn't long ago that we were concerned about the superstar outfielder's lackluster hitting. But Washington Nationals' GM Mike Rizzo was right: Soto will be Soto. And Soto he has been of late.

In fact, the 24-year-old currently possesses the second-highest OPS (.938) among outfielders in the National League, trailing only MVP candidate Ronald Acuna Jr. of the Atlanta Braves. That's a long way from being mired in the depths of struggle. This is a bounceback worthy of an All-Star nod.
