MLB All-Star Voting Standings: Shohei Ohtani and Yordan Alvarez Lead the Pack

The road to the Mid-Summer Classic is heating up! Major League Baseball has released the first official update on the All-Star voting, and it is no surprise that the game’s biggest superstars are capturing the fans’ imagination. If you are tracking the MLB standings for the All-Star race, the numbers are nothing short of staggering.

The Million-Vote Club: Ohtani and Alvarez Dominate

In a testament to their global impact, only two players have surpassed the massive milestone of one million votes. Leading the charge is the phenomenal Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who has amassed an incredible 1,165,133 votes to start as the designated hitter for the National League.

Not far behind is the powerhouse of the Houston Astros, Yordan Alvarez. Alvarez is currently the top vote-getter in the American League, securing 1,015,768 votes to claim the DH spot in the AL.

What Comes Next? Understanding the Voting Phases

The excitement doesn’t stop here. While Phase 1 has identified the primary leaders, the process will move into Phase 2 starting June 29. This subsequent phase will determine the starters for all remaining positions.

It is important to note that while fans decide the starters, they do not have a say in the pitchers or backup position players. Those slots are determined via a player ballot and the commissioner’s office. This means that even if Ohtani is an MVP and Cy Young candidate, his appearance as a pitcher is in the hands of his peers.
