WASHINGTON -- After the millions of ballots from fans around the country were tabulated, Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy missed out on being the NLs starter in the All-Star Game by the a mere 88 votes.The final tally was 3,013,407 for Chicagos Ben Zobrist and 3,013,319 for Murphy, the NL batting average leader.Murphy insisted he wasnt disappointed. Rather, he was thankful to be headed to the All-Star Game for a second time.Being an All-Star is humbling. Im excited for it, Murphy said Tuesday night. Ben Zobrist is the starter. It sounds like hes having a fantastic year and is well deserving.Murphy signed a three-year deal in January with Washington after starring for the rival New York Mets in the 2015 playoffs. He is batting .349 with 14 homers and 56 RBI for the NL East-leading Nationals.He will be joined in San Diego next week by teammates Stephen Strasburg, Wilson Ramos and Bryce Harper.It should be a lot of fun, Murphy said. Hopefully we can get home-field advantage in the World Series.Murphy made the NL squad in 2014 and got one at-bat. Thats not what he remembers most about the event.My biggest takeaway was there were a lot of good players there, he said. The thing I want to take away the most this time is that its an opportunity with four days off away from baseball to pour back into my family. Because once we get done with this, we hopefully go through October.

The freshman from Vaughan, Ont. Newcomers dont take long to impact college basketball -- not in this world of one-and-dones and transfers. Over a two-week span, we will look at the top five newcomers in each of the 10 biggest conferences. Next up is the Pac-12.Within the scrum of the 2015-16 season, the Pac-12s entry of seven members to the NCAA tournament pool seemed surprising by seasons end.The turbulence in the league kept the race hot until Oregon subverted the field late and won both the league and tournament titles. The Ducks alone advanced beyond the first weekend in the NCAA tournament. Yet the conference salvaged its rep by securing three of the top 10 slots in the NBA draft (Cals Jaylen Brown, Washingtons Marquese Chriss and Utahs Jakob Poeltl), and four within the first round (the San Antonio Spurs picked Washingtons Dejounte Murray at No. 29).The league will again boast some of the most talented players in America within its pool of newcomers.Lonzo Ball, UCLA BruinsIts not clear how coach Steve Alford, who is undoubtedly on the hot seat, will balance the minutes between?Bryce Alford?--?his son and the teams ambitious veteran point guard -- and Ball (No. 4 in the?2016 class per RecruitingNation), a 6-foot-6 prodigy point guard whose major in Westwood should be NBA future.It is clear, however, that Balls production will factor into UCLAs decision about its head coachs future. The hot-seat talk that boiled late last season simmered as UCLAs fuming backers remembered the load of incoming talent that would soon reach the Westwood campus. Balls versatility, size and skills will be added to a UCLA program that could contend for the Pac-12 title a year after missing the postseason.Hes not worried about minutes or lineups, either. Ball recently told ESPN.com that the Bruins have a championship mindset now that theyve battled and bled together in summer pickup runs (and an upcoming trip to Austrailia). Thats a great sign and the right attitude. Yet, Ball didnt come to UCLA to play a backup or secondary role. Hes a leader, distributor and finisher. Thats the combo that could elevate the program again. Hes a star. He knows it. His team knows it. And soon, the rest of the country will, too.Markelle Fultz, Washington HuskiesSince he arrived in Seattle in 2002, coach Lorenzo Romar has developed nine players who were selected in the first round of the NBA draft, including two in June. Fultz (seventh in the 2016 class per RecruitingNation) is an early contender for the top spot in next summers draft.?Michael Porter Jr., the Washington commit ranked fourth in the 2017 class per RecruitingNation,?should extend Romars streak in 2018.The 6-4 Fultz will lead a squad that lost its top three scorers from last season but returns multiple players from a team that featured 11 underclassmen in 2015-16. Hes a big, explosive, athletic point guard who will leave early if he, as expected, delivers a season filled with big numbers and a flurry of highlights.Markelle is a dynamic guard, Romar told the Seattle Times after Fultz signed with the program in November. Theres not anything he cant do on the basketball floor. He can go up and jump over the top of you and dunk it. He can dunk on a 6-10, 6-11 guy. He can really pass the ball. Hes gotten now to where he can shoot the bball really well.ddddddddddddT.J. Leaf, UCLA BruinsIf Alford shows up to UCLAs midnight madness wearing a How do you like me now? shirt as he rolls out his new recruiting class, who could be mad at him? A disgruntled fan flew a Fire Coach Alford! banner over his campus this summer. He responded to the backlash by returning a year of his contract extension. Now he has Ball and Leaf, the 6-9 power forward ranked 13th in the freshman class by RecruitingNation, and multiple veterans.The Leaf-Thomas Welsh frontcourt will rival any unit in the Pac-12. Welsh is a sturdier interior presence. Leafs athleticism is his best asset. Hes the type to windmill a dunk, take his man off the dribble or pivot in the lane and score on a hook. Hell challenge, block and alter shots on the defensive end. A UCLA defense that plummeted to 140th in adjusted efficiency per KenPom.com last season needs an agile big man to solve its greatest challenge: pick-and-roll defense. Leaf will help there. Hell give Alford and Ball a target for alley-oops and entry passes, too.Ray Smith, Arizona WildcatsYou could argue that other Arizona newcomers belong in this spot. All three five-star recruits (Lauri Markkanen, Kobi Simmons and Rawle Alkins) deserve consideration. All three could end the season as the Pac-12s most productive newcomer. But Smith has an advantage: time.When Smith (No. 29 in the 2015 class per RecruitingNation) tore his ACL in his right knee before last season -- he sat out his senior year of high school because of a torn ACL in his left knee -- Arizona lost a prospect who would have helped coach Sean Millers program in 2015-16. That didnt happen.But that loss will help both Miller and Smith in 2016-17. He has spent a year in the program and learned the system. Hes not na?ve to Millers persistent demands, and he has added weight to his 6-8 frame. Thats why talk of a lottery pick isnt crazy. The most important newcomer on Arizonas roster could be the redshirt freshman who lost a year in 2015-16 but should help the Wildcats fight for the Pac-12 championship in 2015-16.Shannon Evans, Arizona State Sun DevilsYes, coach Bobby Hurley lost Savon Goodman (9.6 points, 6.4 rebounds per game) and Andre Spight (6.6 points) this offseason. But their decisions to transfer did not disrupt his plan to turn Arizona State into a basketball power. He signed the No. 16 class in the country per RecruitingNation. Its a group thats anchored by three top-100 prospects.Those youngsters will help next season. But Evans, who transferred from Buffalo before the 2015-16 campaign, is the Arizona State newcomer to watch. He made 38 percent of his 3-pointers and 80 percent of his free throws in 2014-15. He also scored 15 points (5-for-9 shooting) in a first-round loss to West Virginia in the NCAA tournament that year.His postseason experience and maturity will help an ASU squad that will rely on its incoming freshman and demand a greater contribution from?Tra Holder. The new faces are part of Hurleys?rebuilding plans. Evans, who has two years of remaining eligibility, gives his former coach at Buffalo additional time to develop those young talents. ' ' '
