With a small lead atop the NL East, the Washington Nationals have done well to bounce back from a poor 2015 season. Unlike last year, the Nats are not relying on one or two players to carry the whole team, as they are getting contributions from all over the field. The result is likely to be multiple Nationals appearing in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, including these five players who have certainly looked the part of an All-Star this year.

A recent slump has caused Harper's unreal numbers to drop, but he still has an OPS over .900 and his full skill set has been on display all season. Unless his slump lasts another month, Harper will surely be an All-Star this year.

Gonzalez is pitching as well this season as he has in years. His ERA is below three, his strikeout rate is up, and he's been a big part of Washington's rotation, which could be enough to put him on the National League All-Star team.
3. Stephen Strasburg

This is the Strasburg the Nationals have been waiting for since his return from Tommy John surgery. He's dominating lineups and is one of the top pitchers in the National League in strikeouts. He definitely looks like an All-Star in 2016.
2. Wilson Ramos

What a difference a year makes; last year, Ramos was a disaster offensively, and now he's one of the most productive catchers in all of baseball. With 21 RBIs and an OPS over .900, there should be little doubt Ramos will be an All-Star this year.
1. Daniel Murphy

Murphy has picked up where he left off last postseason, and then some. He has the best batting average in the big leagues, and it's not even close. Murphy is also on pace to hit a career high in home runs, hitting for more power than usual.
