The SF Giants will probably get at least one or two All-Stars from their pitching staff, but one of the only real hopes they have for an offensive player to make the All-Star team, Heliot Ramos, looks like he is going to get snubbed.

The latest update for All-Star Ballot voting came out recently and things do not look very promising for Ramos:

Among National League outfielders, Ramos ranks 18th with 243,205 votes. He has a lot of ground to make up if he wants to have a chance to make his second consecutive All-Star Game.

Ramos has had a very strong season going which has been a welcome development after there was concern coming into 2025 that he could regress after his strong 2024 season. That has not been the case as he is slashing .287/.364/.478 with 13 home runs and 43 runs batted in. He also had a huge game on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox which powered the Giants to victory.

He is currently on pace to improve upon all of his numbers from last year. Last season was his breakout as he did not even make the team out of spring training but once he got called up in May, he has not looked back and has seemed to get better and better.

Unfortunately, unless there is a massive influx of votes in the next few days it looks like Ramos is going to be denied a chance to make his second All-Star Game which is a shame based on how well he has hit. Yet, there are inevitably going to be snubs and there will always be players deserving of a trip to the All-Star Game who get snubbed.

Ramos is not the only Giants hitter who could earn a trip to Atlanta. The most likely candidate is the recently acquired Rafael Devers. Of course, a lot of his votes came when he was still a member of the Boston Red Sox, but those transferred over to his new team even though he is now in the National League.

Giants fans may not be too heartbroken if they do not have many Giants players represented in Atlanta. With some exceptions, Giants players have had some spotty history in the All-Star Game. Maybe the team would be better served with most of the roster getting a few days off.

Nonetheless, it is a shame that Ramos may very well not be an All-Star since his performance at the plate warrants it. The Giants may even have to consider signing him to an extension based on these last two seasons.
