Alex Bregman (HOU): 1-time All-Star (0 starts)
In just two full seasons in the Majors entering 2019, Bregman had already established himself as a consistent performer on a strong offensive team. His slugging percentage and on-base percentage are both very close to what they were last year, when he finished fifth in American League MVP Award voting and was an All-Star for the first time. No Astros player has ever started an All-Star Game at third base.

Hunter Dozier (KC): Has not been named to an All-Star team
The only Royals third baseman to start an All-Star Game was George Brett, who did so nine times. Dozier could become the second, although he recently missed about three weeks with an oblique injury. Dozier already has matched last season’s total of 11 home runs, and he returned from the injured list batting .314/.398/.589.

Gio Urshela (NYY): Has not been named to an All-Star team
Urshela has gotten the chance to play more frequently than ever before with the Yankees’ early-season injury situation. He’s embraced it, and he’s having the best year of his career. Urshela is on pace for career highs in batting average, slugging percentage and on-base percentage. He’s come up clutch for the Yankees on numerous occasions and has helped them remain among the top teams in the AL East.
