Somewhat of a surprise coming in on this small list is the utility player for the Chicago Cubs, Ben Zobrist. Among all of the hitters on the Cubs, new addition Zobrist might be one of the forgotten men. Though he shouldn’t be based on the way he is performing.

Zobrist joins the club having 44 walks and 37 strikeouts. He has a .316 batting average with a .912 OPS. He currently leads second basemen in the National League in the All-Star race along with four other of his teammates.

Zobrist has been a part of this club before, and has actually finished the season with more walks than strikeouts in 2015 playing for the Athletics and the Blue Jays. He also narrowly missed it last season with the Royals, striking out one more time than walking. Packed into this All-Star team, look for Zobrist to continue to stay in this prestigious club.
