As the MLB All-Star Game approaches on July 15, five St. Louis Cardinals are showing strong fan support in the early voting updates. Brendan Donovan leads the pack, currently sitting in fourth place among National League second basemen. Despite his impressive performance leading the league in WAR and several batting metrics, he trails behind Ketel Marte, Tommy Edman, and Nico Hoerner, largely due to market size disparities.

Other Cardinals in the mix include Iván Herrera, Willson Contreras, Nolan Arenado, and Masyn Winn, all of whom are in the top 10 for their respective positions. Donovan’s chances of moving forward in the voting hinge on closing the gap with Edman and Hoerner over the next voting rounds.
