As of Wednesday night, Anthony Rendon had the second-highest average (.320), highest on-base percentage (.422), highest slugging percentage (.655), highest wOBA (.438), and wRC+ (172), and he had the National League’s highest fWAR (3.1) among qualified third basemen, but he was ranked fifth in voting for the NL’s starting third baseman in the 2019 MLB All-Star Game when the early returns for the first round of voting (the primary voting, or however that whole thing works this year) came out earlier this week, meaning that without a serious surge, he won’t advance to the second round of voting.
