Read our FAQ on this year’s revamped balloting format, which includes two phases of fan voting to determine the All-Star starters, and the ability to vote through Google Search.

CLEVELAND -- Three Reds players cracked the top 10 in the first National League voting update for the 2019 Google All-Star Ballot, released on Tuesday. However, they will need many more votes to get an opportunity to reach the second election for starters.

Six-time All-Star Joey Votto was 10th among first basemen with 60,985 votes and well behind leader Josh Bell of the Pirates and his 621,915 votes. At third base, 2018 All-Star Eugenio Suarez was eighth with 69,052 votes while Nolan Arenado of the Rockies led with 783,684 votes.

At shortstop, Jose Iglesias was ninth with 81,091 votes. The Cubs’ Javier Baez is the leader with 891,496 votes.

Following a slow start over the first two months, Votto entered Tuesday batting .256/.347/.379 with five home runs and 14 RBIs. But he came in batting .412 over his last 12 games.

Suarez is following up his career 2018 season with another strong effort in ’19 while batting .265/.338/.500 with 14 homers and 41 RBIs. Iglesias, who emerged as a starter for Cincinnati late in Spring Training because of an injury to Scooter Gennett, came in batting .291/.330/.413 with four homers and 22 RBIs.

One Reds player not among voting leaders, or even on the ballot, Cleveland native and second baseman Derek Dietrich is having a breakout year. He entered leading the team with a career-high 17 home runs. But not listed among second basemen, Dietrich is in need of write-in votes, which is possible.

Dietrich hopes he has a chance to go to the All-Star Game and participate in the Home Run Derby.

“I mean think about it, I’m a Cleveland kid. I’ve played the game a long time in the Major Leagues,” Dietrich said. “I’m having the best year I’ve ever had. I’m hoping for the opportunity to represent the Reds here in my hometown and be a part of the All-Star Game festivities. I think it would be a dream come true.”
