New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge has been red-hot most of this season, and the fans are rewarding him for it.
Major League Baseball released its first update on fan voting for the 2024 All-Star Game, and Judge topped all other players with 1,366,315 votes. Judge, 32, currently leads the majors in home runs (26), RBI (64), walks (57), total bases (181) and slugging (.686). This would be his sixth trip to the All-Star Game.
Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper leads all players in the National League with 1,110,562 votes. Harper is batting .280 with 15 home runs and 46 knocked in for the NL East-leading Phillies.
The first phase of fan voting concludes at noon ET on June 27. The top vote-getter in each league from Phase 1 will receive an automatic starting position in the July 16th game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.
The top two vote-getters at each position, and the top six outfielders, move on to Phase 2 of voting. Votes from the first phase do not carry over. At the conclusion of Phase 2 voting, the top vote-getter in each position will start the All-Star game.
All-Star Game starters will be announced July 3 with the full roster revealed four days later.
