Ketel Marte is one step away from separating himself in Arizona Diamondbacks history. On Wednesday, Marte was named the starting second baseman for the National League All-Star team. That marks the third All-Star appearance in his 11-year career, all since 2019.

Ketel Marte wasted no time proving that he's a worthy MLB All-Star starter after he tried to rescue the Diamondbacks from defeat.

Marte began his career with the Seattle Mariners, who signed him as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic. He debuted in 2015 and, after two seasons, was traded—alongside pitcher Taijuan Walker—to Arizona in exchange for a three-player package that included Jean Segura and Mitch Haniger.
