Last season, Lindor not only made his first All-Star team, but he picked up both Platinum and Gold Glove Awards for his work at shortstop. So far this season, the switch-hitter has elevated hit offense, posting an .878 OPS with 11 home runs entering Wednesday's action. If he were to finish first in voting, Lindor would be the first Indians player to start for the AL via fan balloting since 2001 (Juan Gonzalez).
Lindor (602,238 votes) currently holds a substantial lead over Houston shortstop Carlos Correa (253,518), and the Indians shortstop boasted the third-highest vote total overall.
