Matt Chapman of the Oakland Athletics has been elected to the American League All-Star Team on the player ballot for the 90th Major League Baseball All-Star Game on Tuesday, July 9 at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio. It is his first career All-Star selection.

Chapman is the first A's third baseman to represent the club at the All-Star Game since Josh Donaldson in 2014.

Chapman, 26, entered the day hitting .264 (83-for-314) with 55 runs scored, 20 doubles, 2 triples, 20 home runs, 46 RBI, a .353 on-base percentage, a .532 slugging percentage and an .885 OPS in 83 games this season. He is among the American League leaders in extra-base hits (T1st), go-ahead home runs (T1st, 10), total bases (T4th), home runs (T7th), go-ahead RBI (T8th, 13), runs (T9th), and doubles (T9th). He is tied for the Major League lead among third basemen with 20 home runs with Colorado's Nolan Arenado and defensively, leads Major League third basemen in total chances (265) and putouts (94) and ranks second in assists (164), while ranking second among AL third basemen in fielding percentage (.974).

He is the only American Leaguer this season with 50+ runs scored, 20+ doubles and 20+ home runs, and joins National Leaguers Josh Bell (PIT), Javier Baez (CHC) & Freddie Freeman (ATL) as the only ones in the Majors with those levels.

Chapman's 3.4 WAR is the 4th-best in the American League behind Mike Trout (5.2), Xander Bogaerts (3.7) and Alex Bregman (3.5). He leads American League third basemen in home runs, 2nd in doubles, RBI, runs and slugging percentage.
