For the first time in his nine-year career, C.J. Cron has been named an All-Star and will be the Colorado Rockies' lone representative at Dodger Stadium after a stellar first half. He is also the first Rockies first baseman named to the All-Star team since Todd Helton in 2004.
Cron has played in all but two games this season with Colorado and has become the main offensive force in the lineup. Through 84 games this season, Cron is batting .295/.350/.551 with 20 home runs, 66 RBI, and 179 total bases which are third-most in the National League.
