## Resource

Dylan Cease, the Blue Jays’ ace, has been named the American League All-Star Game starter — a move that sparked debate after Yankees’ ace Cam Schlittler opted out to protect his arm. Both pitchers are elite: Cease leads the AL in strikeouts with 148 and boasts the lowest opponent average, while Schlittler owns a league-best 2.05 ERA and 137 strikeouts. Toronto manager John Schneider made the call before Schlittler’s decision, even reaching out to Yankees’ management to discuss it. Cease called the honor surreal and acknowledged room for improvement, especially on walks, but is eager to keep his momentum. With both pitchers dominating the season, this All-Star selection has fans buzzing — and the game promises to be a showcase of two of baseball’s most electric arms.
