The first round of voting will determine two of the players who will start the All-Star – the top voter in each league – and which players will advance to the final round of voting for the All-Star Game, which will take place on July 19 at Dodger Stadium.
Fans can complete a Chevrolet MLB 2022 All-Star ballot up to five times per 24 hours until the Voting Phase 1 closes at 2 p.m. ET on 30 June. You can vote exclusively on MLB.com and all 30 MLB club sites and the MLB app.
The top voter in the American League and National League after Phase 1 will take a place in the starting lineup of their All-Star team. In addition to these two players, the top two voters in each position and the top six off the field will advance to the voting finals. If an off-field player is the top voter in a league, only the next four off-field finalists will advance to Phase 2 to determine who will start in the two remaining places.
Leading voters at the moment are Yankees slugger Aaron Judge in AL (1,512,368 votes) and Dodgers star Mookie Betts in the NL (1,446,050 votes).
Here’s a look at the current All-Star returns, position by position, for AL and NL.

The Blue Jays have someone in the top three in every position on the ballot except DH, and Vlad Jr. is the first of four Toronto players to line up to start the All-Star Game if the vote were to end today. France are looking for their first All-Star nod and Rizzo could make his AL team for the first time in three All-Star seasons with the Cubs.
SECOND BASE1. Jose Altuve, Astros: 710.7082. Santiago Espinal, Blue Jays: 522.1543. Andres Gimenez, Guardians: 514.9824. Gleyber Torres, Yankees: 379.0955. Trevor Story, Red Sox: 320,262 • Full results
Altuve (12 home runs, 144 OPS +) could make the eighth All-Star team with the Astros, but Giménez (0.302 average, 140 OPS +) and the flexible Espinal are not far behind as they look for their first All – The star is winking. Watch Story in its new position on the Red Sox.
THIRD BASE1. Rafael Devers, Red Sox: 727.6692. José Ramírez, Guardians: 711.3673. Matt Chapman, Blue Jays: 406,1824. DJ LeMahieu, Yankees: 281.9555. Alex Bregman, Astros: 245,911 • Full results
This is a close race between two of AL’s top players this season, with Devers and Ramírez splitting by just over 16,000 votes. Davers hits 0.330 with 16 home runs and leads the Major Leagues to success with 89. Ramirez hits 0.305 with 16 hostages and a top 62 RBI in AL.
SHORTSTOP1 For Bichette, Blue Jays: 585.7442. Tim Anderson, White Sox: 528.2783. Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox: 525.2024. Jeremy Rock, Astros: 271.6405. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Yankees: 187,755 • Full results
The AL shortstop race is open, with the top three splitting by only 2% of the vote (Bichette has 19%, Anderson and Bogaerts each have 17%). Bichette, Anderson and Bogaerts all joined the 2021 All-Star Team, with Bogaerts winning the start.
OUTSIDE THE FIELD1. Aaron Judge, Yankees: 1,512.3682. Mike Trout, Angels: 1.295.8543. George Springer, Blue Jays: 622.0634. Giancarlo Stanton, Yankees: 504.5375. Taylor Ward, Angels: 497.3616. Byron Buxton, Twins: 403.0507. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Blue Jays: 381.5918. Teoscar Hernández, Blue Jays: 374.2269. Michael Brantley, Astros: 287,28410. Kyle Tucker, Astros: 251,948 • Full results
Unsurprisingly, Judge and his top-ranked MLB 25 are at the top of AL’s out-of-court voting – he is the overall leading voter on the ballot at the moment, with more than 1.5 million votes. Nor is it surprising to see Trout looking for his 10th All-Star nod, right behind him. There are also some interesting names below on the ballot, such as Trout teammate Ward (180 OPS +) and hot Buxton (19 at home), who wants to make his first All-Star team.
ΠΙΛΑΤΗΣ1. Alejandro Kirk, Blue Jays: 1.057.0082. Jose Trevino, Yankees: 387.9833. Salvador Perez, Royals: 266.6044. Martin Maldonado, Astros: 231.0055. Christian Vazquez, Red Sox: 199,010 • Full results
Kirk is a fun name to look at at the top of the AL vote – and has 35% of the vote compared to Trevino’s 13%, the biggest lead of any All-Star nominee. The fan favorite also deserves his place. Kirk leads all catchers with an average of 0.307 beats and leads the AL catchers with 2.2 fWAR.
CERTAIN HITER1. Jordan Alvarez, Astros: 835.6692. Shohei Ohtani, Angels: 555.0563. JD Martinez, Red Sox: 307.7064. Danny Jansen, Blue Jays: 297.4845. Miguel Cabrera, Tigers: 248,312 • Full results
Alvarez leads two-way star Ohtani thanks to his bat elite – the Astros DH hits 0.311 with 18 home runs and 1,026 OPS. Ohtani has 13 home runs, seven stolen bases and 37 RBIs, while the third Martinez wins 0.335 with 23 doubles. It’s also nice to see Miggy’s name appear in the top five in his 20th season in the major leagues.
FIRST BASE 1. Paul Goldschmidt, Cardinals: 930,441 votes2. Pete Alonso, Mets: 602.3213. Freddie Freeman, Dodgers: 469,1974. Matt Olson, Braves: 403.5145. Eric Hosmer, Padres, 147,019 • Full results
Goldschmidt has won six consecutive All-Star selections with the D-backs since 2013-18, but is still looking for his first nod as a Cardinals member. He is well on his way to achieving it this year, as he is ahead of the NL in average (.339) and key percentage (0.417) and is second in the NL with a slugging rate of 0.614. He is ahead of Alonso, the NL leader in the homers (19) and MLB leader in the RBI (64), with Freeman and Olson, the man who replaced him at the first base in Atlanta, in the close race to break the first trinity.
SECOND BASE1. Jazz Chisholm Jr., Marlins: 634.7622. Ozzie Albies, Braves: 589.8043. Jeff McNeil, Mets: 580.2574. Gavin Lux, Dodgers: 256.4115. Nolan Gorman, Cardinals: 214,383 • Full results
Chisholm is one of the leading stars of 2022, producing 13 homers, 11 steals and a 131 OPS +. Claiming his first All-Star career choice, he has taken a slight lead over Albice, who recently suffered a broken leg, and McNeill, who had a strong bouncing season for the Mets, hitting 0.327 with four homers and one 143 OPS +.
THIRD BASE1. Manny Machado, Padres: 969.5822. Nolan Arenado, Cardinals: 581.3633. Austin Riley, Braves: 557.2204. Justin Turner, Dodgers: 254.0575. Eduardo Escobar, Mets: 234,079 • Full results
Machado and Arenado are no strangers to the All-Star Games, with 11 selections between them and Arenado starting for the NL a year ago. Machado left Sunday’s match with a problem in his left ankle, but seems to have avoided a serious injury, which is definitely good news for the Padres. The 29-year-old made 0.328 / .400 / .545 vertical with 12 hostages in his first 66 games. Behind the Arenado (13 homers, 141 OPS +) is Riley, who followed last year with a great start to 2022 (18 homers, 127 OPS +) as he seeks his first All-Star nod.
SHORTSTOP1. Trea Turner, Dodgers: 811.8392. Dansby Swanson, Braves: 599.2513. Francisco Lindor, Mets: 521.4894. Tommy Edman, Cardinals: 277.6995. Fernando Tatis Jr., Padres: 165,074 • Full results
With Tatis, last year’s starting arm for the NL All-Star team, on the shelf with a broken left wrist, we could have a shortstop start in the NL for the first time this year. Hitting 0.301 with nine homers and 14 steals in 65 games, Turner is the current leader, followed by a pair of NL East shortstops in Swanson and Lindor.
OUTSIDE THE FIELD1. Mookie Betts, Dodgers: 1.446.0502. Ronald Acuña Jr., Braves: 1,398,5633. Joc Pederson, Giants: 630.5844. Starling Marte, Mets: 469.3445. Juan Soto, Nationals: 451.0796. Adam Duvall, Braves: 332.3877. Mark Canha, Mets: 320.9108. Marcell Ozuna, Braves: 303.9459. Cody Bellinger, Dodgers: 301,12110. Harrison Bader, Cardinals: 256,126 • Full results
Betts is the top voter in the NL, with almost 1.5 million votes, which would put him in line for his sixth All-Star game in the last seven seasons. However, Acuña did not miss a single step after returning to the World Series champions in late April. Elsewhere on the ballot, Pederson is looking for his first All-Star of his rookie season with the Dodgers in 2015, and a pair of top NL East Mets outfielders Marte and Canha are both vying for a place. .
ΠΙΛΑΤΗΣ1. Willson Contreras, Cubs: 801.6302. Travis d’Arnaud, Braves: 471.9213. Yadier Molina, Cardinals: 454.6854. Tyler Stephenson, Reds: 370.4535. Will Smith, Dodgers: 323,894 • Full results
Contreras is the top contender for the MLB with 12 home runs, and his 0.917 OPS is just ahead of William’s younger brother’s .987 (William is on the DH All-Star ballot and is second on the ballot). Veteran Molina, who turns 40 just before the All-Star Game, is looking for his 11th career nod.
CERTAIN HITER1. Bryce Harper, Phillies: 1.059.4332. William Contreras, Braves: 584.6303. Albert Pujols, Cardinals: 344.2484. Max Muncy, Dodgers: 189.6435. JD Davis, Mets: 134,569 • Full results
The NL’s dominant MVP leads the DH race by a wide margin and is the only NL player other than Betts and Acuña with more than 1 million votes. Harper wins 0.326 with 15 home runs and 1,013 OPS this season. But what if the Pujols could reach another Midsummer Classic as Cardinal, the team he represented in nine of his 10 All-Star Games?
