The San Francisco Giants catcher could still make the All-Star roster despite flying under-the-radar.

The switch-hitting slugger is up across the board at the plate from his rookie campaign to now. He's slashing .278/.353/.417, whereas he had just .233/.285/.359 last year.

It isn't just luck, either. His xBA and xwOBA are higher than what his actual numbers look like. If anything, he should be having more success than he already is. Though he is a switch-hitter, he's much better against right-handed pitching this time around. All four of his home runs this year have come when he's batting left-handed.
