Very cool that Shota is now an all star in his first year stateside. 

agreed that its cool and its an acceptable all star selection. it could have easily have been Steele but the considering how electric he was earlier in the season, I can see why he was selected over him...the numbers seem pretty close overall

If Steele hadn't missed so much time, he'd definitely be there.

Yeah...hes only 12 innings behind him, but not that wins mean anything but Shota has 7, Steele just got his 1st on Friday.  But their numbers look pretty similar

ERA:  Steele - 2.95, Shota - 3.16

FIP: Steele - 3.33, Shota - 3.39

WHIP - Steele - 0.99, Shota 1.10

K/9 - Steele - 8.7, Shota 9.1

bWAR - Steele 1.5, Shota 1.7

I know there's much better metrics out there, just doing a quick BR glance..

They've both had their ERAs propped up by a high number of UERs (Steele 7, Shota 6).  Honestly either one would have been fine, Steele has slightly better numbers but Shota has more IP and is a slightly better story.
