Posey has garnered 686,253 votes in the NL balloting's closest positional race. His top competitors are Willson Contreras of the Cubs (596,111) and Kurt Suzuki of the Braves (557,692).
Posey, 31, is bidding for his fourth consecutive fan-elected start, and would become the first NL catcher to earn four consecutive fan votes since Hall of Famer Mike Piazza (nine straight, 1994-2002).
