‘A New York Yankee and an All-Star?’- Star Catcher Jose Trevino Emotionally Breaks Down After All-Star Call-Up; Receives Derek Jeter Shout-Out

New York Yankees have owned the 2022 MLB season like a champion team. Be it hitters, pitchers, or catchers, Yankees players are putting an all-around show on almost every game this season. Recently, when the Yankees catcher, Jose Trevino, got selected for MLB All-Star, he could not believe it.

Jose Trevino has been very crucial for the Pinstripes this season. He alone has won a couple of games when it mattered the most. And deservingly, he has received his first-ever All-Star call-up.

Talking about the Yankees, six Yankees players have been selected for the 2022 MLB All-Star game. It sums up the quality of the rooster the Yankees have this season. Unlike every year’s free agency, the Yankees did not go after big names in 2022 free agency. Instead, they signed only those players who could fit the squad. And this strategy has done wonders for Aaron Boone and the company.

Jose Trevino is an All-Star

When Jose Trevino arrived in the Bronx this season from the Texas Rangers, he would not have even imagined that he will be an All-Star for the Yankees. But with his unbelievable gameplay and consistency, Trevino earned the spot for himself.

During a recent series against the Boston Red Sox, when the Yankees manager, Aaron Boone, informed the same to Trevino, he broke down. With tears in his eyes, Trevino was in shock. Taking to Twitter, the Yankees posted a video of the same. One can see the happiness in his eyes.

Notably, the 2022 MLB All-Star game will take place on July 19 at Dodger Stadium. Apart from Trevino, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gerrit Cole, Clay Holmes, and Nestor Cortes Jr. will play in the All-Star game.
