Jun. 15—Adam Frazier is making a push to win a starting job in the All-Star Game on July 13 at Coors Field in Denver.
He is second among National League second basemen in the voting and third in the league overall with a .336 batting average after 64 games.
During the first phase of the voting, Frazier received 12% of the vote, behind Ozzie Albies of the Atlanta Braves (17%).
"This is a guy who is not a big guy (5-foot-10, 185 pounds), but he handles the strike zone," Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said of Frazier's average jumping 106 points since the end of last season.
