C - Buster Posey, Giants
The veteran catcher will play for his fourth All-Star team this July. Hunter Pence's best friend continues to be a consistent force behind the plate in San Francisco, tallying 10 homers, 40 RBIs (second-best among NL catchers) and a .291 batting average.

1B - Anthony Rizzo, Cubs
The 26-year-old leads all NL first baseman in home runs (20), RBIs (61), OPS (.964) and amazing foul ball catches in the dugout. It's his third straight All-Star selection and we're guessing it feels just as magical as the first.

2B - Ben Zobrist, Cubs
The Zorilla is having a fantastic first season on the North Side -- putting up 11 homers, 43 RBIs, a .296 batting average and .404 OBP thus far. This is his third All-Star selection (first since 2013) and power at the top of the Cubs lineup as been a main reason why they lead the NL in runs scored.

3B - Kris Bryant, Cubs
Guess what? More Cubs. Bryant leads all of baseball with 25 homers and has also compiled 64 RBIs, a .278 batting average and .948 OPS. The 24-year-old also registered an MLB first last month and turned a child into a drooling, tearing mess with a baseball sticker. Let's see what he has in store for the Midsummer Classic -- his second in two years.

SS - Addison Russell, Cubs
Russell is the baby of the NL starting roster -- making the team (his first) at the tender age of 22. He's fifth among National League shorstops with 11 home runs and fourth with his 48 RBIs. Fans love him. Like, really, really love him.

OF - Bryce Harper, Nationals
At just 23 years old, this will already be Harper's FOURTH All-Star Game. His first-half numbers of 17 homers, 48 RBIs and a .404 OBP have helped catapult the Nats into first place in the NL East. He also has a leage-leading 66 walks (something he finds very humorous) and continues to hit long, fun home runs.

OF - Yoenis Cespedes, Mets
Cespedes has carried over his baseball-crushing ways from the second half of last season to make his second Midsummer Classic. He has an even .300 batting average, 50 RBIs and 20 dingers -- some of them reaching heights where most human beings have never reached before.

OF - Dexter Fowler, Cubs
It's only fitting that we round off the roster with another Cub. Fowler, like many of his teammates, is having a great start to the season -- putting up seven homers, 28 RBIs, six steals, a .290 batting average and .881 OPS. But, let's be honest, we all know the real reason why he made the team.
