Buster Posey was announced as the starting catcher for the 2017 MLB All-Star game for the third year in a row. It’s the fourth time in his career, as he was voted in previously in 2012.He is the lone starting representative of the SF Giants in the 2017 All-Star Game.
Posey has easily been the best catcher in the NL this season, as Yadier Molina, his only previous competition has gotten older and less productive. Posey is still touting the .900+ OPS and the 152 wRC+. Based on offense it was a no-brainer. But Buster Posey has been as good, if not better than he was defensively in 2016, and he won a gold glove for that.
