Earlier this year I said I would be surprised if Latz made the All Star team, something I based more on how players are selected and the overall numbers game rather than the merits of his case. Since then, though, he’s built an even stronger case, particularly with a great June that saw him named A.L. Reliever of the Month, such that at this point I’m not surprised he got the nod.
Latz is tied for third in the American League in saves, with 18. He has a 1.71 ERA in 42 innings over 33 games.
