Shohei Ohtani leads in All-Star voting as MLB makes first reveal of fan tally
MLB provided its first update on All-Star voting Monday, and, to the surprise of few, Shohei Ohtani leads the way.
The two-way superstar for the Los Angeles Dodgers is one of only two players to have so far cracked 1 million votes with 1,165,133 to play designated hitter in the National League.
The other is Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez, who is the top-vote getter in the American League. He received 1,015,768 votes as the leader to play DH in the AL.
The top vote getters in each league through Phase 1 of All-Star fan voting will earn a starting spot on their respective All-Star teams. The field will then be whittled down to Phase 2 of voting, which will determine the starters at each remaining position. Phase 2 voting starts June 29.
As for whether or not Ohtani will start as a pitcher for the NL during a season in which he's an MVP and Cy Young candidate, fans don't have a say. Pitchers and backup position players are determined via player ballot and the commissioner's office.
Here's where the voting stands as of MLB's reveal on Monday.
