One more player will round out Bruce Bochy’s squad.

After reviewing the MLB All-Star Game Final Vote ballot for the American League, we will now do the same for the National League. Of the five candidates competing for the last spot on the NL roster, four are pitchers. That’s almost the complete opposite of the AL, whose Final Vote field is comprised entirely of position players.

Odds are NL All-Star manager Bruce Bochy will have another hurler added to his staff, unless the supporters of a certain Colorado shortstop have their say. But regardless of position, each player on this list has had an ASG-worthy first half and can make a strong case for that last-chance place on the roster.

Fans can vote here at MLB.com as many times as they want until 4 pm EST on Friday, July 10. The floodgates will really open in the six hours leading up to the deadline, when Tweets containing each candidate’s unique hashtag will also count as votes.
