An All-Star nod would mean a lot to Shota Imanaga, but he knows it's out of his hands.
The Chicago Cubs did not land a starter on the 2024 MLB All-Star Game, but they may have had one on the mound Wednesday.Shōta Imanaga started against the Phillies, and threw well enough in his last All-Star audition to put the Cubs in a position to win again in a 5-3 loss to Philadelphia.After the game, Imanaga said that All-Star nod is a goal for him. "Looking back at my last couple outings, I feel like I’m not quite there yet," Imanaga said through interpreter Edwin Stanberry.
When asked what it would mean to be named among one of the best in the game, he didn't have a long answer. Instead, he wanted to save that for later."I think I want to answer that when it does happen," Imanaga said.Imanaga's season has seen some ups-and-downs.He had an incredible start to his season, recording an 0.84 ERA through his first nine starts and into late May. However, two rough outings against the Brewers and the Mets helped bring his ERA up to 3.
