Why He's an All-Star: In just his second season, he leads all NL catchers in most meaningful categories and looks like he could be one of the all-time greats at the position. Only one catcher in history has ever had a season of 75-plus RBI and 25-plus stolen bases (Ivan Rodriguez in 1999), but Martin is on pace for 114 and 30.
All-Star Highlight: None.
