The first batch of MLB All Star Game voting results are in, and Jacob Wilson is in play to start this year’s midsummer classic.
Wilson, the rookie phenom shortstop of the Athletics, has secured over 560,000 votes to start the July 15th MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta, putting him nearly 40,000 votes ahead of last year’s MVP runner-up and Kansas City Royals star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr.
The 23-year-old currently ranks second in all of baseball in batting average (.362), only trailing reigning American League MVP winner Aaron Judge.
