Decide, who leads all gamers with 1,568,527 votes, may turn out to be the primary participant to repeat as MLB’s prime All-Star vote-getter since Alex Rodriguez did it for the Yankees in 2007-08. He’s greater than 525,000 votes forward of the next-closest AL participant, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh.
Ohtani (1,398,771 votes), although, stays inside placing distance of Decide for the general lead. He’s one among 5 NL gamers with greater than 1 million votes, together with Dodgers teammates Freddie Freeman and Will Smith, the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Mets’ Francisco Lindor.
The main vote-getter in every league throughout Part 1 will obtain an automated spot of their workforce’s beginning lineup. Past these two gamers, the highest two vote-getters at each place, and the highest six outfielders, will advance to Part 2 of the voting, which begins June 30. If an outfielder is a league’s main vote-getter, solely the following 4 outfield finalists will transfer on to Part 2 to find out who begins on the two remaining spots.
Here is a take a look at the present All-Star vote totals, place by place, for the AL and NL.
1. Paul Goldschmidt, Yankees: 667,258
2. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays: 614,726
3. Jonathan Aranda, Rays: 483,290
4. Spencer Torkelson, Tigers: 426,283
5. Christian Walker, Astros: 123,720
Goldschmidt’s resurgent season for the Bronx Bombers on the age of 37 has the 2022 NL MVP locked in a good battle with Guerrero, who has began three of the previous 4 All-Star Video games at first base for the AL. Aranda, the chief amongst certified AL first basemen with a .902 OPS, will look to make up floor within the race to advance to Part 2.
1. Gleyber Torres, Tigers: 535,079
2. Jackson Holliday, Orioles: 449,093
3. Jose Altuve, Astros: 446,787
4. Jazz Chisholm Jr., Yankees: 250,416
5. Brandon Lowe, Rays: 238,799
With fewer than 90,000 votes separating Torres, Holliday and Altuve, this is likely one of the tightest races on both aspect of the poll. Torres, who signed with the Tigers within the offseason and has helped Detroit put up MLB’s finest report at 46-27, is looking for his first profession All-Star begin and third choice general. Following a disappointing rookie season, Holliday’s emergence has been one of many few shiny spots for the O’s throughout a rocky 2025 marketing campaign. The Astros shifted Altuve to left area through the spring, however the nine-time All-Star (and four-time starter at second base) has continued to see time on the keystone as effectively.
1. Jacob Wilson, Athletics: 562,696
2. Bobby Witt Jr., Royals: 519,984
3. Jeremy Peña, Astros: 341,515
4. Bo Bichette, Blue Jays: 316,538
5. Anthony Volpe, Yankees: 201,891
Coming off a 2024 season through which he completed second within the AL MVP Award voting and cemented himself as one among baseball’s largest superstars, Witt entered ’25 because the frontrunner to earn the beginning shortstop spot for the AL. Nonetheless, a current droop by the Royals shortstop has opened the door for Wilson, who’s having an unimaginable rookie season with a .367 batting common, eight homers and a .914 OPS. The 23-year-old narrowly leads Witt within the closest race between first and second place at any place. Wilson could be the primary Athletics shortstop to begin the All-Star Sport since Bert Campaneris in 1975 and simply the third participant from the franchise to win the fan vote at his place since 2000, becoming a member of Jason Giambi (’00 first base) and Josh Donaldson (’14 third base).
1. José Ramírez, Guardians: 968,754
2. Alex Bregman, Pink Sox: 397,581
3. Addison Barger, Blue Jays: 248,463
4. Zach McKinstry, Tigers: 235,189
5. Isaac Paredes, Astros: 190,016
Within the midst of one other excellent marketing campaign that has him on tempo to put up his seventh profession 20-20 season, Ramírez has a major edge over the remainder of the AL area on the scorching nook. The Guardians third baseman additionally began final 12 months’s All-Star Sport, marking his third begin and sixth choice general. Bregman has been on the injured checklist with a proper quad pressure since Might 24, however he has constructed a reasonably sizable lead over Barger for second place nonetheless.
1. Aaron Decide, Yankees: 1,568,527
2. Riley Greene, Tigers: 675,070
3. Mike Trout, Angels: 475,265
4. Steven Kwan, Guardians: 457,882
5. Javier Báez, Tigers: 421,342
6. Cody Bellinger, Yankees: 416,858
7. Kerry Carpenter, Tigers: 380,985
8. George Springer, Blue Jays: 330,470
9. Julio Rodríguez, Mariners: 316,626
Given the lead he’s constructed, it seems doubtless that Decide would be the league’s prime vote-getter on the finish of Part 1. That may give the two-time MVP an automated spot within the AL’s beginning outfield, with 4 different outfielders advancing to Part 2 to vie for the ultimate two berths. Whereas Greene appears to have a great probability to advance, it’s shaping as much as be a good race to spherical out the remainder of the Part 2 area at this place. Trout noticed his streak of 10 straight fan-vote wins come to an finish in 2024, however he’s again within the combine this 12 months. That stated, fewer than 95,000 votes separate Trout in third place from Carpenter in seventh place. With Greene, Báez and Carpenter all among the many prime seven, it’s not out of the realm of risk that the AL-leading Tigers may have three of the 4 outfielders competing in Part 2.
1. Cal Raleigh, Mariners: 1,043,168
2. Alejandro Kirk, Blue Jays: 370,460
3. Dillon Dingler, Tigers: 316,401
4. Logan O’Hoppe, Angels: 194,349
5. Austin Wells, Yankees: 190,854
With Raleigh on tempo for maybe one of the best season by a catcher in MLB historical past, it’s no shock he has jumped out to one of many largest leads at any place. He’d be the primary catcher in Mariners historical past to begin the All-Star Sport. In second place is Kirk, who began behind the plate for the AL in 2022. Toronto’s defensive whiz had a string of mediocre offensive seasons throughout 2023-24, however he has rebounded with the bat in ’25. Dingler, faring effectively on each side of the ball in his second season, will not be far behind Kirk within the voting.
1. Ryan O’Hearn, Orioles: 353,029
2. Ben Rice, Yankees: 232,331
3. Mike Tauchman, White Sox: 177,483
4. Yordan Alvarez, Astros: 172,720
5. Anthony Santander, Blue Jays: 168,208
Rafael Devers has obtained 796,382 votes up to now, which led the AL DH area by a major margin. The factor is, Devers now performs within the NL, with the Pink Sox shockingly buying and selling the slugger to the Giants on Sunday evening. Consequently, Devers has been moved to the NL aspect of the poll, and O’Hearn is the brand new AL chief in DH voting. Alvarez earned his first All-Star begin because the AL DH in 2024, however he obtained off to a gradual begin this 12 months and has been sidelined since early Might with a fracture in his proper hand.
1. Freddie Freeman, Dodgers: 1,136,389
2. Pete Alonso, Mets: 895,900

5. Luis Arraez, Padres: 140,396
When the poll launched, the NL first-base spot appeared like one of many hardest requires followers to make, with Freeman and Alonso each rating among the many NL’s finest hitters in 2025. Nonetheless, it hasn’t been all that shut up to now, as Freeman has opened up a lead of greater than 240,000 votes over Alonso. A four-time All-Star, Alonso has an opportunity to snap a longstanding drought for the Mets — they haven’t had the beginning first baseman within the All-Star Sport since Keith Hernandez in 1986. Freeman ended an analogous drought for Los Angeles when he began the 2023 All-Star Sport, turning into the primary Dodgers first baseman to take action since Steve Garvey in 1980.
1. Ketel Marte, D-backs: 850,572
2. Tommy Edman, Dodgers: 510,451
3. Nico Hoerner, Cubs: 354,745
4. Brendan Donovan, Cardinals: 326,787
5. Jeff McNeil, Mets: 320,850
Marte notched his second profession All-Star begin final 12 months en path to a third-place end within the NL MVP Award race, and he has an opportunity at his third in 2025, which might tie him with Goldschmidt for essentially the most in franchise historical past. Marte has been purple scorching over the previous month, making up for misplaced time after lacking virtually all of April with a strained left hamstring. Edman has racked up his share of accolades as a Main Leaguer, together with a Gold Glove, an NLCS MVP Award and a World Collection title, however he has by no means been an All-Star.
1. Francisco Lindor, Mets: 1,019,273
2. Mookie Betts, Dodgers: 597,188
3. Trea Turner, Phillies: 348,053
4. Elly De La Cruz, Reds: 312,538
5. Dansby Swanson, Cubs: 307,173
It’d come as a shock to be taught that Lindor has by no means began the All-Star Sport. In truth, he hasn’t earned a variety in any respect since 2019, when he was a member of the Guardians. However this might be the 12 months he ends each droughts. Lindor has had a knack for beginning off gradual since he joined the Mets, however he at present has an .828 OPS, which might be his highest pre-break mark since that 2019 All-Star season. Betts has began 5 All-Star Video games within the outfield, however this could be his first at shortstop. He led all NL shortstops in Part 1 voting a 12 months in the past, however after fracturing his left hand on June 16, he misplaced to Turner in Part 2.
1. Manny Machado, Padres: 955,122
2. Max Muncy, Dodgers: 415,750
3. Eugenio Suárez, D-backs: 290,138
4. Matt Shaw, Cubs: 245,102
5. Alec Bohm, Phillies: 232,469
It is an all-NL West showdown at third base, with Machado main Muncy and Suárez within the fan vote. Machado is aiming to turn out to be simply the fourth participant in Padres historical past to begin a number of All-Star Video games, becoming a member of Tony Gwynn, Benito Santiago and Garvey. (Fernando Tatis Jr. was voted in additional than as soon as however missed the 2024 sport as a consequence of damage.) Machado beforehand began in 2022 for San Diego and in addition logged a pair of begins for the Orioles amongst his six complete All-Star picks.
1. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs: 1,126,119
2. Kyle Tucker, Cubs: 704,740
3. Teoscar Hernández, Dodgers: 685,553
4. Juan Soto, Mets: 625,618
5. Corbin Carroll, D-backs: 597,805
6. Ronald Acuña Jr., Braves: 596,363
7. Andy Pages, Dodgers: 449,707
8. Fernando Tatis Jr., Padres: 434,955
9. James Wooden, Nationals: 383,294
With Tucker and Soto transferring from the AL to the NL within the offseason, Acuña returning sturdy from a torn ACL in his left knee and a lot of younger gamers breaking out, the NL outfield group is unfathomably deep in 2025. In truth, this checklist doesn’t look all that totally different from the general NL WAR leaderboard. Crow-Armstrong (first), Carroll (second), Tatis (tied for fifth), Wooden (tied for fifth) and Tucker (seventh) all ranked among the many prime seven NL place gamers in WAR (per FanGraphs) as of Saturday morning, a mirrored image of simply how stacked the place is throughout the league. Followers have clearly taken discover of Crow-Armstrong’s emergence as an all-around stud — the Cubs heart fielder ranks fourth in votes behind Decide, Ohtani and Freeman.
1. Will Smith, Dodgers: 1,124,629
2. Carson Kelly, Cubs: 408,081
3. Francisco Alvarez, Mets: 274,191
4. J.T. Realmuto, Phillies: 249,476
5. Hunter Goodman, Rockies: 247,914
For the reason that workforce traded Mike Piazza in 1998, Russell Martin (2007) is the one Dodgers catcher to begin an All-Star Sport. Smith, a two-time All-Star having one of the best season of his profession, may examine off that field in 2025. Kelly seems to be Smith’s largest competitors, though the Cubs backstop has cooled off significantly after an uncharacteristically scorching begin to the season.
1. Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers: 1,398,771
2. Rafael Devers, Giants: 796,382
3. Seiya Suzuki, Cubs: 358,138
4. Kyle Schwarber, Phillies: 332,097
5. Starling Marte, Mets: 244,421
After switching leagues together with his commerce to the Giants, Devers – who had led for AL DH – introduced his votes with him to the Senior Circuit and slotted in No. 2 behind Ohtani. The truth that Ohtani nonetheless maintains a large lead is a testomony to each his continued excellence and enduring star energy. Suzuki and Schwarber are each having spectacular seasons, however they aren’t Ohtani, who’s vying for his fifth straight fan-vote win at DH, and his second straight within the NL.
