Leblebijian, a 2017 All-Star, holds a team-high 10 home runs hit in 2018 and also has a .276 batting average and 35 RBI on the year. He is coming off a strong series against Lehigh Valley in which he registered seven hits and six RBI including a grand slam on June 11.

Several other Bisons rank high on the ballot as well. Tim Lopes is currently second in votes for the second base spot. He is batting .297 with 10 stolen bases this season. Al Alburquerque is in the running for a spot as a relief pitcher and currently sits in eighth place. He has a 2.86 ERA with 19 strikeouts and one win in 22 innings pitched. Richard Urena (SS) is the second-leading write-in candidate.

This year's All-Star Game will be hosted at Huntington Park in Columbus on Wednesday, July 11. Get to the polls before it's too late and vote to send the Bisons to the All-Star Game!
