Which Pirate is worthy of the All-Star Game? David Bednar, Bryan Reynolds are best bets

David Bednar saved the game against the Yankees on Tuesday night. He is the Pittsburgh Pirates' closer. Bryan Reynolds is a center fielder. Both players are hoping to be selected for the All-Star Game on July 19 at Dodger Stadium. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal picked Reynolds as the Pirates’ representative. Brandon Nimmo is considered the top candidate in center. If only one Pirate is picked, Reynolds would go with Bedarner. The Pirates had two starters last year in Reynolds and Adam Frazier. They had no starters in the center last season. It's the first time since the 1990s that the team has not had a player from the position.

Bryan Reynolds was the starting center fielder in the All-Star Game last year. Vogelbach believes Reynolds' form has improved since then. David Bednar is happy to be in that conversation.
