He leads the pitching staff with a 2.91 ERA, a 9-4 record, and 104 strikeouts over 99 innings pitched. His ability to mix a high-velocity four-seam fastball with a devastating changeup and slider has left hitters guessing all season. Notably, Peralta\u2019s ERA is his lowest since 2021. His advanced metrics, like a 138 ERA+, underscore just how effective he\u2019s been compared to his peers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The National League All-Star pitching staff has been revealed! <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/RNKUAzmNCU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/RNKUAzmNCU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MLB (@MLB) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLB\/status\/1941968824250614225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Brewers\u2019 Lone All-Star, But a Worthy One<\/h3>\n<p>The Brewers currently find themselves in a heated Wild Card race. Peralta\u2019s performance has stood out even as trade rumors swirl around the team\u2019s ace. His durability and team-friendly contract have made him a valuable asset. Yet for now, he remains the face of the Brewers\u2019 pitching staff. Upon receiving the news, Peralta credited his teammates and coaches for helping him reach this milestone. He emphasized the collective effort behind his success. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for this honor and proud to represent Milwaukee,\u201d Peralta said. \u201cThis is for the team, the fans, and everyone who\u2019s supported me along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/managers\/murphpa99.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pat Murphy<\/a> echoed those sentiments, highlighting Peralta\u2019s leadership both on and off the field. \u201cFreddy sets the tone every fifth day. He\u2019s earned this, and we\u2019re all proud of him,\u201d Murphy remarked.<\/p>\n<h3>Looking Ahead to All-Star Week in Atlanta<\/h3>\n<p>With the All-Star Game set for July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta, all eyes will be on Peralta as he takes the mound among baseball\u2019s elite. Brewers fans hope his stellar form continues into the second half, keeping Milwaukee in the thick of the playoff hunt and, perhaps, making a case for even more hardware by season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: \u00a9 Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milwaukee Brewers ace right-hander Freddy Peralta has been named to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.
