It has been a long time coming for Pence, who hasn't participated in the event since 2014. Though he was voted as the starting DH, he unfortunately won't be participating due to injury, but it's still an awesome moment for the veteran. The Texas native has been able to rejuvenate his career in his home state, posting a .294/.353/.962 slash line with 15 HR and 48 RBI.
Now, Pence has once again found his way to the top after spending last year out of the MLB.
