NATIONAL LEAGUE
FIRST BASE
1. Freddie Freeman, Dodgers
2. Pete Alonso, Mets
Freeman (10 HR, .895 OPS) is aiming for his seventh consecutive All-Star selection, enhancing his Hall of Fame legacy. Alonso (18 HR, .921 OPS) is also in contention but needs to catch up to be the first Mets first baseman to start the All-Star Game since 1986.
SECOND BASE
1. Ketel Marte, D-backs
2. Tommy Edman, Dodgers
Marte (17 HR, .994 OPS), after being named an All-Star starter last season, is performing even better this year. If he maintains the lead against Edman (10 HR, .729 OPS), he could be the first D-backs player to win the fan vote three times.
SHORTSTOP
1. Francisco Lindor, Mets
2. Mookie Betts, Dodgers
Lindor (16 HR, .774 OPS) has never started the All-Star Game despite being among the best of his generation. He currently leads Betts (9 HR, .707 OPS) in the NL shortstop voting.
THIRD BASE
1. Manny Machado, Padres
2. Max Muncy, Dodgers
With an edge of 13 HR and .831 OPS, Machado could become the fourth Padres player to secure multiple All-Star starts, joining legends like Tony Gwynn.
OUTFIELD
1. Ronald Acuña Jr., Braves
2. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs
3. Kyle Tucker, Cubs
4. Teoscar Hernández, Dodgers
5. Juan Soto, Mets
6. Andy Pages, Dodgers
Acuña (9 HR, 1.109 OPS), although having played only 34 games this season, leads all NL outfielders in Phase 2 voting. Crow-Armstrong (21 HR, 25 SB) is making a name for himself as a potential first-time All-Star.
CATCHER
1. Will Smith, Dodgers
2. Carson Kelly, Cubs
Smith (10 HR, .945 OPS) is having an impressive year and may secure his first All-Star starting nod. Currently, he leads the NL in batting average (.318) and on-base percentage (.413).
Phase 2 voting for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game is in full swing. Stay tuned to see how the races for All-Star starters evolve as fans cast their votes!
