"It would be surreal for sure," Messick said. "I didn't think at the start of this year I'd be in a position to be in the talks for it. It's just really cool. I'm thankful to the Lord that I'm in this position. If it happens it would mean the world. If not, then I'm going to keep trying to keep getting the Guardians wins. It doesn't really matter.
"But I know how big of an honor that would be. It would be a huge accomplishment. I would be super grateful."
The 25-year-old southpaw is certainly deserving of an All-Star selection. Messick has pitched to a 2.85 ERA across 17 starts to go along with 106 strikeouts in 101 innings of work on the mound.
The Guardians continue to develop pitching at a high level . Cleveland's overall pitching staff has found success for the most part in 2026. The Guards are eighth in team ERA and fifth in strikeouts. Messick has certainly played a crucial role in their overall success.
