Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.
With nearly 7 million ballots cast, superstar sluggers Aaron Judge of the Yankees and Bryce Harper of the Phillies are the leading vote-getters for their respective leagues on the 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com. Judge leads all candidates with 2,375,199 votes, and Harper leads the National League with 2,037,523.
If those two remain atop the polls when Phase 1 of the voting concludes on Thursday at noon ET, Judge and Harper will automatically receive starting spots in their league’s lineup for the 2024 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard at Globe Life Field in Arlington on July 16.
A lot can change between now and then, however. Judge has a slim lead over teammate Juan Soto, with fewer than 240,000 votes separating the two Bronx Bombers. Harper, meanwhile, is also holding a narrow advantage over a teammate, with Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm only 77,292 votes behind him.
The other players who have received more than 1.5 million votes so far are Shohei Ohtani (1,773,404), Mookie Betts (1,680,658), Jurickson Profar (1,646,276), Adley Rutschman (1,638,425), Gunnar Henderson (1,551,124) and Christian Yelich (1,506,639).
The leading vote-getter in each league during Phase 1 will receive an automatic spot in their team’s starting lineup. Beyond those two players, the top two vote-getters at every position, and the top six outfielders, will advance to Phase 2 of the voting, which begins Sunday. If an outfielder is a league’s leading vote-getter, only the next four outfield finalists will move on to Phase 2 to determine who starts at the two remaining spots.
There are some close races among position players, particularly in the American League — at first base (the Orioles’ Ryan Mountcastle is leading the Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr.), second base (the Astros’ Jose Altuve leads the Rangers’ Marcus Semien) and designated hitter (the Astros’ Yordan Alvarez is leading three players who are all within 30,000 votes of each other — the Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton, the Guardians’ David Fry and the Orioles’ Ryan O’Hearn).
In the NL, the race at second base is very close, with Ketel Marte leading Luis Arraez by a narrow margin.
Here’s a look at the current All-Star vote totals, position by position, for the AL and NL:
