It is the first career All-Star nomination for the 26 year-old third baseman

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman is an MLB All-Star.

The 26 year-old was selected as a reserve for the American League after an incredible start to the 2019 season. Chapman is currently hitting .265 with 21 home runs and 49 RBI on the season over 84 games.

Chapman is fresh off of a breakout 2018 campaign that saw him win a Gold Glove Award and Platinum Glove Award while leading the Athletics to their first playoff berth since 2014.
