Bo Bichette is grateful to be returning to the all-star game. The American League hits leader was among four Toronto Blue Jays who were named to Major League Baseball's midseason exhibition on Sunday.
Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., ace Kevin Gausman and second baseman Whit Merrifield will join Bichette at the all-star game.
Bichette was an all-star in 2021 and he said that now he's older he'll appreciate the honour more. "To be honest, I think my first year I took it for granted," said Bichette before he officially became an all-star. "So if I get that opportunity again, I'll be definitely happy to take it." Ready to shine ⭐️<br><br>Congrats to Bo, Gaus, Vladdy, and Whit! <a href="https://t.co/TFy5Aalszl">pic.twitter.com/TFy5Aalszl</a> Bichette leads the AL with 113 hits this season.
The shortstop has a .317 batting average, 15 home runs and 51 runs batted in. It will be Guerrero's third consecutive all-star game and he was named the exhibition's most valuable player in 2021.
