Chicago Cubs star slugger Seiya Suzuki won't competing in Atlanta during the Midsummer Classic.It's crazy that's even a statement being uttered based on what he's done this season.Suzuki, who is on a team that has the second-bast record in the National League and fourth-best overall, leads the Cubs in homers (25) and RBI (77).While that is notable, it's the fact he leads every Major League Baseball player in RBI that makes his snub from the All-Star roster that much more egregious.More News: Chicago Cubs All-Star Ace Celebrated As ‘Nicest, Friendliest’ Player in MajorsBeing a designated hitter in the National League certainly hurts Suzuki, with Shohei Ohtani putting together another NL MVP-caliber season and Kyle Schwarber being one of the MLB's leaders in home runs while also having a higher fWAR value than Suzuki.However, the All-Star Game is supposed to recognize the best players in the sport through the first half of the year, and undoubtedly Suzuki falls into that category.When taking a look at the rest of the selections, it's even more frustrating that Suzuki didn't make it.Ronald Acuna Jr. is a starting outfielder after playing in just 40 games so far this season, and even though the Midsummer Classic is taking place in Atlanta, the fact that he doesn't even show up under the qualified hitters tab when it comes to statistics is telling.More News: Former Barstool Influencer Relentlessly Booed by Cubs Fans After Brutal PerformanceKyle Stowers has had a good year, but he's on the roster because every team needs a reprsentative.Clayton Kershaw was selected as a "Legend Pick" despite making nine starts this season.And on the American League side of things, there even more questionable selections featuring big names and big teams.More News: Chicago Cubs Unsung Pitcher to Join Superstar Duo in MLB All-Star GameAgain, the fact that Suzuki is a designated hitter in the National League made his journey to being included in the All-Star Game difficult, but if a guy can't make it despite leading the entire sport in one of the most important statistics that's measured, then what's the point of having anyone on these rosters besides whoever is the most popular?This might not be a major deal if All-Star selections weren't weighted when it comes to future contracts, career accolades and even Hall of Fame consideration.Since coming over from Japan ahead of the 2022 campaign, Suzuki has not had the honor of competing in such a prestigious event.He did enough where that should have changed this year.While there are All-Star snubs every season, it's safe to say everyone can agree that someone who is leading Major League Baseball in RBI should be headed to the Midsummer Classic.The fact that Suzuki wasn't named to the initial roster is a complete disgrace and should cause the league to look at how qualifications for this event are determined going forward.For more Cubs news, head over to Cubs On SI.This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/cubs as Seiya Suzuki's All-Star Snub Is One of Most Ridiculous of All Time.

His omission led to some social media discussion, and it turns out that Hank Greenberg once missed the All-Star Game with 105 RBI at the break, and that was in an era where RBI were highly valued. So maybe this isn't the biggest snub ever.

The rosters for the 2025 Major League Baseball All-Star Game have been revealed. The All-Star Game is set for Tuesday, July 15 in Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves. As alway
