2020 NL All-Star team

The San Diego Padres, who posted the highest winning percentage in team history, placed four players on my National League All-Star team: infielders Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, Jake Cronenworth and starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet.

The Padres (37-23, .617) made the playoffs for the first time in 14 years in the coronavirus-shortened season and won their first playoff series since 1998.

Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman was the league’s top player, hitting .341/.462/.640 with 13 home runs, 53 RBIs and a NL-best 51 runs.

Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish (8-3, 2.01) was the top pitcher, with 93 strikeouts, 14 walks and 11 different pitches.

Cronenworth should win the Rookie of the Year award.
