While there was no MLB All-Star game this year, these 5 players quietly had great seasons and will be All-Star’s next year

Sadly there was no MLB All-Star Game this past summer for the first time since 1945 and many players missed out on the potential to add the selection to their list of accolades or for some, their first-ever appearance in the midsummer classic.

We could speculate who would have made the two teams, and the MLB helped us out a bit by releasing the 2020 All MLB team, but now it is time to look forward to next summer. Obviously, there are plenty of players who will be in the game if they can avoid injury but what about some of the young guys?

There are plenty of young studs who had great seasons who should be in Atlanta next summer like the Rookie’s of the Year Mariners Kyle Lewis and Brewers Devin Williams, but there were also a few low-key players of all ages who had terrific shortened 2020’s.

I specifically found five that I believe will be All-Stars for various reasons, but each had terrific 2020 seasons. Some were shorter than others, some spent more time on the bench, but all 5 will look to capitalize on their past season and turn into household names.

For now, however, they are all decently low key players that most fans will not have heard of unless they are on your team. So now I present the five players that you may not have heard of that will be All-Stars next season, starting with a 2020 World Series champion.
