Phase 2 voting is underway for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard. Here's how the races to determine the All-Star starters are shaping up.
The finalists at each position in the American League and National League are vying to join the Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani in the starting lineups for this year's Midsummer Classic on July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. Judge and Ohtani clinched automatic starting bids by finishing as each league's top vote-getter in Phase 1 of the 2025 PRO SPIRIT MLB All-Star Ballot.
Phase 2 of voting is open now until noon ET on Wednesday. The All-Star Ballot will continue to be available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com/vote, all 30 club websites, the MLB App and the MLB Ballpark App. Fans may vote once per day during Phase 2.
Here are the Phase 2 standings after the first day of voting.
AMERICAN LEAGUE
FIRST BASE
1. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays
2. Paul Goldschmidt, Yankees
If Guerrero (12 HR, .841 OPS) can maintain his lead over Goldschmidt (8 HR, .768 OPS), he would earn his fifth straight All-Star nod (and fourth start). He’d also join José Bautista and Roberto Alomar as the only Blue Jays players to start four All-Star Games.
SECOND BASE
1. Gleyber Torres, Tigers
2. Jackson Holliday, Orioles
The Tigers haven’t had an All-Star fan-vote winner since Miguel Cabrera in 2015 (Cabrera missed the game due to injury), but they are positioned to end that drought this season. If the voting ended today, Detroit would have three players in the AL’s starting lineup, including Torres (9 HR, .823 OPS). He’s up against Holliday (10 HR, .722), who edged out Jose Altuve in Phase 1 of the voting. No matter who comes out ahead, this will be the first time since 2019 -- and the only the second time in the past 10 years of balloting -- that the AL fan vote at second base was not won by either Altuve or Marcus Semien.
SHORTSTOP
1. Jacob Wilson, Athletics
2. Bobby Witt Jr., Royals
Despite his star power, Witt (11 HR, .825 OPS) is currently running behind the rookie Wilson (.339 BA, 9 HR) in this Phase 2 showdown. If his lead holds up, Wilson would become the first A’s shortstop to start the All-Star Game since Bert Campaneris in 1975. He’d also join Jason Giambi (2000) and Josh Donaldson (’14) as the only A’s players to win the All-Star fan vote since 1993.
THIRD BASE
1. José Ramírez, Guardians
2. Alex Bregman, Red Sox
With Bregman (11 HR, .938 OPS) on the IL since May 24 due to a right quad strain, Ramírez (13 HR, .871 OPS) is positioned to earn his fifth straight All-Star selection (seventh overall), as well as his fourth career start. Ramírez would join Ken Keltner (five) and Kenny Lofton (four) as the only players in franchise history to make at least four All-Star starts.
OUTFIELD
1. Riley Greene, Tigers
2. Javier Báez, Tigers
3. Mike Trout, Angels
4. Steven Kwan, Guardians
Tigers fans are clearly making their presence felt in this year’s All-Star voting. All three Detroit players who advanced to Phase 2 are currently in position to nab starting spots, with Torres leading the second-base vote and Greene (19 HR, .887 OPS) and Báez (9 HR, .783 OPS) running ahead of Trout (13 HR, .788 OPS) and Kwan (6 HR, .777 OPS) in the race to join Judge in the AL’s starting outfield. (Judge earned an automatic starting spot by virtue of being the AL’s leading vote-getter in Phase 1.) Báez’s resurgence at the plate is one of the most stunning developments of the year, given how he performed over his first three seasons with the Tigers (.610 OPS). If Báez can hold onto his lead, this would mark his third All-Star start -- each at a different position.
CATCHER
1. Cal Raleigh, Mariners
2. Alejandro Kirk, Blue Jays
Having already set the all-time marks for the most homers by a catcher and a switch-hitter before the All-Star break, Raleigh (33 HR, 1.036 OPS) is on track to become the first backstop in Mariners history to start the All-Star Game. After receiving more votes than every AL player other than Judge in Phase 1, Raleigh has the edge over Kirk (.311 BA, .790 OPS) in their Phase 2 matchup.
DESIGNATED HITTER
1. Ryan O’Hearn, Orioles
2. Ben Rice, Yankees
Seeking his first career All-Star nod at the age of 31, O’Hearn (11 HR, .854 OPS) leads Rice (14 HR, .795 OPS) in their Phase 2 matchup. The Orioles slugger also led the AL DH field in Phase 1 after the Red Sox shook up the race by trading Rafael Devers to the Giants on June 15.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
FIRST BASE
1. Freddie Freeman, Dodgers
2. Pete Alonso, Mets
Freeman (10 HR, .895 OPS) has earned six straight All-Star selections and could make it seven this year as he continues to burnish his Hall of Fame credentials. Alonso (18 HR, .921 OPS) has a strong All-Star case as well, but he has some ground to make up if he’s going to become the first Mets first baseman to start the All-Star Game since Keith Hernandez in 1986.
SECOND BASE
1. Ketel Marte, D-backs
2. Tommy Edman, Dodgers
After earning his second career All-Star start and finishing third in the NL MVP voting last season, Marte (17 HR, .994 OPS) has been even better in 2025. If his lead over Edman (10 HR, .729 OPS) holds up, Marte would become the first player in D-backs history to win the fan vote three times.
SHORTSTOP
1. Francisco Lindor, Mets
2. Mookie Betts, Dodgers
Although he ranks among the best players of his generation, Lindor (16 HR, .774 OPS) has never started the All-Star Game. That could change in 2025, with Lindor leading Betts (9 HR, .707 OPS) -- a five-time All-Star starter in the outfield -- in the NL shortstop balloting.
THIRD BASE
1. Manny Machado, Padres
2. Max Muncy, Dodgers
Machado’s advantage (13 HR, .831 OPS) over Muncy (13 HR, .845 OPS) has him on track to become the fourth player in Padres history to make multiple All-Star starts. He’d join Tony Gwynn (10), Benito Santiago (three) and Steve Garvey (two) in doing so.
OUTFIELD
1. Ronald Acuña Jr., Braves
2. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs
3. Kyle Tucker, Cubs
4. Teoscar Hernández, Dodgers
5. Juan Soto, Mets
6. Andy Pages, Dodgers
Despite appearing in only 34 games this season, Acuña (9 HR, 1.109 OPS) leads all NL outfielders in Phase 2 voting -- setting him up for a massive ovation from the hometown fans at Truist Park. Crow-Armstrong (21 HR, 25 SB) is having a breakout year for the Cubs and would be a first-time All-Star. His Cubs teammate Tucker (17 HR, .932 OPS) is also in line to earn a starting spot, which would be the first of his career. Hernández (14 HR, .775 OPS) and Soto (20 HR, .901 OPS) both have previous starting experience at the Midsummer Classic -- 2024 included -- while Pages (16 HR, .828 OPS) is vying for his first All-Star selection.
CATCHER
1. Will Smith, Dodgers
2. Carson Kelly, Cubs
While Raleigh’s historic season is grabbing plenty of attention, Smith (10 HR, .945 OPS) is putting together an excellent year of his own behind the plate and could be on the verge of his first All-Star starting nod as a result. Smith, the NL’s current leader in batting average (.318) and on-base percentage (.413), will look to maintain his advantage over Kelly (9 HR, .827 OPS) as voting continues.
