Now a familiar name among National League All-Stars, Josh Hader will be making his third consecutive All-Star appearance. Due to the shortened 2020 season, there was no All-Star Game last year. However, Hader was selected in 2018 and 2019. This season, Hader is even better than he was in his first two All-Star seasons. Hader currently is 3-0 with a 0.55 ERA and 0.74 WHIP. Additionally, Hader has converted all 20 of his save opportunities.
