5 SF Giants players who will make the 2022 MLB All-Star team

The SF Giants have had a tremendous amount of team success over the past 15 years, and while that comes with three World Series titles and an MVP from Buster Posey, there hasn’t been much individual success beyond that.

Sure, we’ve seen a few All-Star seasons, and Brandon Crawford is always a player for Gold Glove, and even won a Silver Slugger back in 2015, but beyond that, the team by the bay gets overlooked quite a lot when it comes to individual talent.

In 2022 however, after a stellar 2021 campaign, the Giants will be almost impossible to overlook, and with a fantastic rotation and a lineup full of energy, we are going to see some Giants on the biggest stages baseball has to offer.

While injuries and other things outside of players control can always happen, if healthy, these are the five SF Giants players that in 2022 should represent the team at the MLB All Star Game, unfortunately at Dodger Stadium.

1. Logan Webb

Logan Webb showed flashes of promise during his first stint at the major league level, but in 2021, he put it all together, and announced himself on the national stage with a fantastic NLDS against the rival LA Dodgers.

Webb used all four of his pitches incredibly effectively, but it was the command and use of the sinker that allowed them to all be so nasty, and after two starts in 2022, it’s hard to see him not building on what he started last year.

Not only will Webb represent San Francisco at the All-Star game, but if he can continue to build his confidence in all of his weapons, and get the run support the Giants can give him, he should also be in the Cy Young conversation come October.

2. Brandon Crawford

For years now, Brandon Crawford has been one of the best shortstops in baseball, and even with all the young stars such as Fernando Tatis coming through, he manages to get better and better every year.

Crawford already has three All Star game appearances, and after a career year at the plate in 2021 and a hot start to the 2022 season, it seems that there’s no slowing down for one of San Francisco’s favourite sons.

With all the youth coming through for the Giants, it feels like Craw has been rejuvenated, and with a new two year contract, it seems like the end isn’t even in sight for one of the best defensive shortstops the game of baseball has ever seen.

3. Carlos Rodón

In the offseason, many fans had their wish lists for prize free agents to take the Giants a step further in 2022, and while none saw Carlos Rodon coming to the bay, everyone is sure glad it ended up happening.

Through two starts, Rodon has looked absolutely electric, with a consistent 96-97mph fastball and some nasty off-speed pitches, he is the perfect compliment to Webb in this 1-2 punch that could end up being the best in baseball.

It’s still only early, and Rodon has had endurance issues over the years, but if he can give the Giants a quality six innings every time he toes the rubber, the Giants will have two Cy Young candidates, and two All-Stars in their rotation.
