Baseball flowers are home runs too… Schwarber, All -Star Game ‘Star among Stars’
The flower of the baseball was also a home run. The 2025 US Major League (MLB) All -Star Game has been hidden with its first extended home run Derby (swing off), and Kyle Schwabber of the Finals League (NL) Philadelphia Philis is the first player in his life.
The National League won 4-3 in the extended home run Derby after a 6-6 draw with the American League (AL) in the 2025 Major League All-Star Game held at the Atlanta Truist Park in Georgia. It was the first time since the introduction of the ‘Swing Off’ system in 2022 that the game was decided through the All -Star Game. The National League narrowed the All -Star game to 45 wins and 48 losses with the victory.
The National League and the American League have not been able to win up to nine times, so they entered the home run Derby. The All -Star home run Derby is played by three batters in each league without time limit, and wins the most home runs.
The National League was featured by Kyle Star Wars (Miami), Schwaber, and Pete Alonso (Mets), while the American League was Brent Luker (Auckland), Randy Arosarena (Seattle) and Jonudan Aranda (Tampa Bay).
Lucer, the first American league hitter, hit two home runs and the first batters of the National League hit one home run. The American League Aro Sarena hit one home run 3-1. Soon after, Shuaber, who was the second hitter in the National League, made three home runs, and the last American League’s last hitter Aranda couldn’t even play a single home run, and the game ended with 4-3 of the National League. The last batter, Alonso, was not at the plate as the game was decided.
Schwabber, who was hit by the 5th Los Angeles (LA) Dodgers Otani Shohei at -bats, had only one walk in two at -bats, but he became the first ‘Mr. All -Star’ with three extended home runs. Shuwabber said, “It was a wonderful day,” he said. “I cheered me by screaming every time the players swinged.
Meanwhile, in this All -Star Game, the major league was first applied to the introduction of the next season, which was first applied. The American League starter Taric Skuval (Detroit) asked for ABS reading when the third district thrown by Manny Maco (San Diego) was declared as a ball. The result is a challenge success. The centrifugal ball was changed to a striking, and the wagons stepped down with strikeouts.
The ABS method, which the major league is considering introducing the introduction, is different from the Korean professional baseball (KBO) method, which reads all the balls as ABS. In the challenge method, you can ask for ABS reading only when pitchers, catchers, and others are difficult to understand. It is currently in operation in the minor league.
