NEW YORK — The first phase of MLB All-Star Game voting has concluded, and Aaron Judge led all American League players. Under this new system, Judge has automatically earned a starting spot in the game thanks to winning Phase 1. Braves’ outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will join Judge, as he led all National League players.
This is Judge’s fourth career All-Star nod. In his previous All-Star years (2017, 2018 and 2021) he was also a starter. He is the first Yankee to lead all players in fan voting since Alex Rodriguez in 2008. With 3,762,498 total votes, Judge not only led the AL, but the entire league.
Judge is slashing .289/.364/.998 with 29 home runs and 59 RBIs on the season.
