In 2011, Joey Votto led the NL in walks and, sure enough, was also an All-Star.
In 2012, Dan Uggla and Votto tied for the NL lead in walks – both were All-Stars.
In 2013, Votto – walk leader/All-Star.
In 2014, Matt Carpenter – walk leader/All-Star
In 2015, Votto – walk leader/no All-Star, BUT … third in MVP voting.
In 2016, Paul Goldschmidt – walk leader/All-Star.
In 2017 … well …
Yeah, this brings us back to Carp. The bearded Bird leads the National League – actually, the major leagues – with 63 walks.
