Read our story on the balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters.
The Yankees’ Aaron Judge and the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani are the leading vote-getters for the American League and National League, respectively, in our first update of the 2025 PRO SPIRIT MLB All-Star Ballot.
If that’s still the case when Phase 1 of the voting concludes on June 26 at noon ET, Judge and Ohtani will automatically receive starting spots in their league’s lineup for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard at Truist Park in Atlanta on July 15.
As Phase 1 continues, you can vote as many as five times per every 24-hour period exclusively at MLB.com, on all 30 MLB club sites and on the MLB app.
Judge, who leads all players with 1,568,527 votes, could become the first player to repeat as MLB’s top All-Star vote-getter since Alex Rodriguez did it for the Yankees in 2007-08. He’s more than 525,000 votes ahead of the next-closest AL player, Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh.
Ohtani (1,398,771 votes), though, remains within striking distance of Judge for the overall lead. He’s one of five NL players with more than 1 million votes, along with Dodgers teammates Freddie Freeman and Will Smith, the Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Mets’ Francisco Lindor.
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 June 30. 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.
Here's a look at the current All-Star vote totals, position by position, for the AL and NL.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
FIRST BASE
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 at the age of 37 has the 2022 NL MVP locked in a tight battle with Guerrero, who has started three of the past four All-Star Games at first base for the AL. Aranda, the leader among qualified AL first basemen with a .902 OPS, will look to make up ground in the race to advance to Phase 2.
SECOND BASE
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 one of the tightest races on either side of the ballot. Torres, who signed with the Tigers in the offseason and has helped Detroit post MLB’s best record at 46-27, is seeking his first career All-Star start and third selection overall. Following a disappointing rookie season, Holliday’s emergence has been one of the few bright spots for the O’s during a rocky 2025 campaign. The Astros shifted Altuve to left field during the spring, but the nine-time All-Star (and four-time starter at second base) has continued to see time at the keystone as well.
SHORTSTOP
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 in which he finished second in the AL MVP Award voting and cemented himself as one of baseball’s biggest superstars, Witt entered ’25 as the frontrunner to earn the starting shortstop spot for the AL. However, a recent slump by the Royals shortstop has opened the door for Wilson, who is having an incredible rookie season with a .367 batting average, eight homers and a .914 OPS. The 23-year-old narrowly leads Witt in the closest race between first and second place at any position. Wilson would be the first Athletics shortstop to start the All-Star Game since Bert Campaneris in 1975 and just the third player from the franchise to win the fan vote at his position since 2000, joining Jason Giambi (’00 first base) and Josh Donaldson (’14 third base).
THIRD BASE
1. José Ramírez, Guardians: 968,754
2. Alex Bregman, Red Sox: 397,581
3. Addison Barger, Blue Jays: 248,463
4. Zach McKinstry, Tigers: 235,189
5. Isaac Paredes, Astros: 190,016
In the midst of another outstanding campaign that has him on pace to post his seventh career 20-20 season, Ramírez has a significant edge over the rest of the AL field at the hot corner. The Guardians third baseman also started last year’s All-Star Game, marking his third start and sixth selection overall. Bregman has been on the injured list with a right quad strain since May 24, but he has built a fairly sizable lead over Barger for second place nonetheless.
OUTFIELD
1. Aaron Judge, 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 built, it appears likely that Judge will be the league’s top vote-getter at the end of Phase 1. That would give the two-time MVP an automatic spot in the AL’s starting outfield, with four other outfielders advancing to Phase 2 to vie for the final two berths. While Greene seems to have a good chance to advance, it’s shaping up to be a tight race to round out the rest of the Phase 2 field at this position. Trout saw his streak of 10 straight fan-vote wins come to an end in 2024, but he’s back in the mix this year. That said, fewer than 95,000 votes separate Trout in third place from Carpenter in seventh place. With Greene, Báez and Carpenter all among the top seven, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the AL-leading Tigers will have three of the four outfielders competing in Phase 2.
CATCHER
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 pace for perhaps the best season by a catcher in MLB history, it’s no surprise he has jumped out to one of the largest leads at any position. He’d be the first catcher in Mariners history to start the All-Star Game. In second place is Kirk, who started behind the plate for the AL in 2022. Toronto’s defensive whiz had a string of mediocre offensive seasons across 2023-24, but he has rebounded with the bat in ’25. Dingler, faring well on both sides of the ball in his second season, is not far behind Kirk in the voting.
DESIGNATED HITTER
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 received 796,382 votes so far, which led the AL DH field by a significant margin. The thing is, Devers now plays in the NL, with the Red Sox shockingly trading the slugger to the Giants on Sunday night. As a result, Devers has been moved to the NL side of the ballot, and O’Hearn is the new AL leader in DH voting. Alvarez earned his first All-Star start as the AL DH in 2024, but he got off to a slow start this year and has been sidelined since early May with a fracture in his right hand.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
FIRST BASE
1. Freddie Freeman, Dodgers: 1,136,389
2. Pete Alonso, Mets: 895,900
3. Michael Busch, Cubs: 286,931
4. Bryce Harper, Phillies: 276,647
5. Luis Arraez, Padres: 140,396
When the ballot launched, the NL first-base spot seemed like one of the toughest calls for fans to make, with Freeman and Alonso both ranking among the NL’s best hitters in 2025. However, it hasn’t been all that close so far, as Freeman has opened up a lead of more than 240,000 votes over Alonso. A four-time All-Star, Alonso has a chance to snap a longstanding drought for the Mets -- they haven’t had the starting first baseman in the All-Star Game since Keith Hernandez in 1986. Freeman ended a similar drought for Los Angeles when he started the 2023 All-Star Game, becoming the first Dodgers first baseman to do so since Steve Garvey in 1980.
SECOND BASE
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 career All-Star start last year en route to a third-place finish in the NL MVP Award race, and he has a chance at his third in 2025, which would tie him with Goldschmidt for the most in franchise history. Marte has been red hot over the past month, making up for lost time after missing almost all of April with a strained left hamstring. Edman has racked up his share of accolades as a Major Leaguer, including a Gold Glove, an NLCS MVP Award and a World Series title, but he has never been an All-Star.
SHORTSTOP
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 might come as a surprise to learn that Lindor has never started the All-Star Game. In fact, he hasn’t earned a selection at all since 2019, when he was a member of the Guardians. But this could be the year he ends both droughts. Lindor has had a knack for starting off slow since he joined the Mets, but he currently has an .828 OPS, which would be his highest pre-break mark since that 2019 All-Star season. Betts has started five All-Star Games in the outfield, but this would be his first at shortstop. He led all NL shortstops in Phase 1 voting a year ago, but after fracturing his left hand on June 16, he lost to Turner in Phase 2.
THIRD BASE
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's an all-NL West showdown at third base, with Machado leading Muncy and Suárez in the fan vote. Machado is aiming to become just the fourth player in Padres history to start multiple All-Star Games, joining Tony Gwynn, Benito Santiago and Garvey. (Fernando Tatis Jr. was voted in more than once but missed the 2024 game due to injury.) Machado previously started in 2022 for San Diego and also logged a pair of starts for the Orioles among his six total All-Star selections.
OUTFIELD
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 Wood, Nationals: 383,294
With Tucker and Soto moving from the AL to the NL in the offseason, Acuña returning strong from a torn ACL in his left knee and a number of young players breaking out, the NL outfield group is unfathomably deep in 2025. In fact, this list doesn’t look all that different from the overall NL WAR leaderboard. Crow-Armstrong (first), Carroll (second), Tatis (tied for fifth), Wood (tied for fifth) and Tucker (seventh) all ranked among the top seven NL position players in WAR (per FanGraphs) as of Saturday morning, a reflection of just how stacked the position is across the league. Fans have clearly taken notice of Crow-Armstrong’s emergence as an all-around stud -- the Cubs center fielder ranks fourth in votes behind Judge, Ohtani and Freeman.
CATCHER
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
Since the team traded Mike Piazza in 1998, Russell Martin (2007) is the only Dodgers catcher to start an All-Star Game. Smith, a two-time All-Star having the best season of his career, could check off that box in 2025. Kelly appears to be Smith’s biggest competition, although the Cubs backstop has cooled off considerably after an uncharacteristically hot start to the season.
DESIGNATED HITTER
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 with his trade to the Giants, Devers – who had led for AL DH – brought his votes with him to the Senior Circuit and slotted in No. 2 behind Ohtani. The fact that Ohtani still maintains a sizable lead is a testament to both his continued excellence and enduring star power. Suzuki and Schwarber are both having impressive seasons, but they aren’t Ohtani, who is vying for his fifth straight fan-vote win at DH, and his second straight in the NL.
