Micro Conference: Outfield

Listen, if you're going to vote for  Micro Conference OF ASG starters, you really can't argue with three straight the long way. The downside is that the ballot only offers 3 choices.

Diamond Conference: Designated hitter

Unlike the Micro Conference where there's a clear leaders of the pack among DH, in the Diamond Conference there seem to be two front-runners with a second tier of contenders that are just behind them.

Micro Conference: Designated hitter

If you're a designated hitter in the Micro Conference not named Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., and you're being honest with yourself, you're probably aiming to be a reserve.

Micro Conference: Third base

It's another horse race for the starting 3B in the Micro Conference. Unlike the Diamond Conference, where there's a clear front-runner, in the Micro, it's a neck-and-neck race, or heavyweight slug fest, depending what your sports metaphor you prefer.

Diamond Conference: Third base

The hot corner in the Diamond Conference is another one of those races for the All-Star Game starter where there's a clear-cut top tier, if not sole front-runner, and then, well, meh.

Micro Conference: Shortstop

Like catcher, shortstop used to be primarily a defensive position with any offense coming out of the 6 hole considered a bonus. That's changed in the past couple of decades although it seems like maybe it's making a comeback with the pedestrian production generally seen at the shortstop position in DMBL this year.

Diamond Conference: Shortstop

The only thing keeping the Diamond shortstop race from being a runaway is eligibility at multiple positions.

Diamond Conference: Second base

It's not all that important when it comes to All-Star ballots but there's something about Diamond 2B that attracts pitches. Edmund Sosa of Arkansas leads the league with 19 HBP already, and within the top 10 in that category are Hopatcong's Josh Harrison (12) and Vancouver's Ty France (11).

Micro Conference: Second base

The keystone in the Micro Conference might be one of the few spots on this year's All-Star squads that could be a no-brainer or even a unanimous pick.

Diamond Conference: First Base

The pool of first base candidates to start the All-Star Game for the Diamond Conference is a bit...shallow this year.

Micro Conference: First Base

First base is typically where you'll find some of the biggest boppers in the league. And in the Micro Conference this year, that's fairly true.

Diamond Conference: Catchers

Catchers have always been known for their defense, not for their offense. It's rare to find catchers among the league leaders in any offense categories - it's been all about defense. 

Micro Conference: Catchers

The 2022 DMBL All-Star Game is nearly here and balloting will begin shortly. Here's a breakdown of some of the contenders at each position.
