STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Josh Bell will find out later Thursday if he has been voted in as the National League's starting first baseman in the 2019 MLB All-Star Game.
Regardless of whether he actually takes home the starting nod, there is a better-than-good chance he will be tapped to play in the Midsummer Classic.
Honors aside, Bell's 2019 season is the breakout campaign that so many were hopeful for. Though many words have been spent describing just how good Bell has been, the occasion of the decision coming down today on his All-Star break plans warrants another look.
