​Robin Ventura struck out against Eric Gagne in the top of the fifth inning of the 2002 MLB All-Star Game. The infamous one in Milwaukee that ended in a tie.And that was the last time a former Oklahoma State Cowboy appeared in the Midsummer Classic.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTwenty-two years later, Dodgers pitcher Justin Wrobleski is set to become the first MLB All-Star out of OSU since Ventura.Wrobleski was added to the National League roster in place of injured Reds starter Chase Burns. It’s quite the birthday gift for Wrobleski, who will turn 26 on Tuesday — the day of the All-Star game in Philadelphia.Wrobleski played one season at OSU (2021) after transferring in from junior college. He made eight starts for the Cowboys, going 3-2 with a 4.20 ERA.He’s gone 10-2 for the Dodgers this season with a 2.69 ERA and 1.02 WHIP. He’s tied for third in the National League in wins and ranks fourth in WHIP.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore: MLB All-Star Game starting lineups: Mike Trout, Kyle Schwarber lead offOklahoma City pitcher Justin Wrobleski (4) pitches during the home opener Minor League baseball game between the Oklahoma City Comets and the El Paso Chihuahuas at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, April 1, 2025.Now that the 22-year drought is over, who will be the next Cowboy to follow Wrobleski as an All-Star? What about the next Sooner (the last was Jason Bartlett in 2009)? Or the next Oklahoma high school prospect who didn’t go to either OSU or OU?Here’s my pick for each.McLean has been one of the lone bright spots for the dreadful Mets. The 24-year-old righty is 6-6 with a 3.52 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. McLean, a two-way star at OSU (2021-23), has the makings of a multi-time All-Star.The Bixby HS product has only logged 47.2 innings as a big leaguer, but the small sample has been spectacular. The 6-foot-6 lefty has been a premium control pitcher. He has a 0.94 WHIP and ranks in the 89th percentile of all pitchers in expected ERA. Maybe it’s recency bias, but I’ll give the edge to Bennett over fellow starting pitchers Cade Horton (Cubs) — who’s recovering from right elbow surgery — and Cade Cavalli (Nationals).AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementTolle starred at Bethany HS before attending Wichita State and TCU. Like his teammate, Jake Bennett, Tolle is a 6-foot-6 left-hander with a sparkling WHIP (1.07). Only 23, Tolle figures to be a front-end starter in Boston for years to come.More: In Home Run Derby, Jordan Walker shushes Philly – and shuts out Kyle SchwarberThe British Open, the last golf major of the year, will tee off Thursday at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England.Here are the top-five contenders with Oklahoma ties:5. Alex Noren (OSU): The former Cowboy has three missed cuts in his last four starts, but he’s had success at the British Open. At Royal Birkdale, specifically, where he tied for sixth in 2017. That’s when Jordan Spieth hoisted the Claret Jug.Advertisem
