PHOENIX — Christian Walker is a two-time Gold Glove winner, helped lead his team to the World Series last season, has hit at least 33 home runs in each of the past two years and is currently on pace for about 40 homers this season.
“It stings a little bit, but it is what it is," Walker told reporters after Sunday's win over the Padres. “Those guys deserve it. Nothing but credit to them.” Walker — who is batting .268 with 22 homers and 64 RBIs this season — is far from the only All-Star snub this season, but he's among the best current players who has never made it. Other notable omissions from this year's group include Baltimore's Ryan Mountcastle, Jordan Westburg and Anthony Santander, Philadelphia's Aaron Nola, San Diego's Manny Machado and New York Yankees pitcher Luis Gil.
