Draw Starting Assignment at Designated Hitter;
Four-Day Window to Vote for Finalists Begins on Monday at 12:00 p.m. (ET);
ESPN to Unveil Starters on Thursday, June 29th; Full Rosters on Sunday, July 2nd
Finalists for the 2023 Scotts MLB All-Star Ballot were announced earlier this evening on MLB Network. Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels will bypass the second phase of voting and have claimed automatic starting assignments at the 2023 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard after leading their respective leagues in voting during Phase 1.
The second phase of voting, which begins on Monday, June 26th at 12:00 p.m. (ET), features the top two vote-getters at each position (and the top six outfielders in the AL; next four outfielders in the NL after Acuña Jr.) in each League based on vote totals from Phase 1, which ran from May 31st-June 22nd.
Phase 2 voting, which is available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com/vote, all 30 Club web sites, the MLB App and the MLB Ballpark App, will give fans the opportunity to vote among the finalists at each position during a four-day window that concludes at 12:00 p.m. (ET) on Thursday, June 29th. Later that night, the winners will be announced at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on ESPN. Fans have the opportunity to vote once per day during this second phase of voting, with daily voting limits resetting each day at 12:00 a.m. (ET). During Phase 2, vote totals will reset (i.e., vote totals from Phase 1 do not carry over) and the winner at each position (including three outfielders in the AL; and two remaining outfielders in the NL) will be named a starting position player for the 2023 Midsummer Classic.
Acuña Jr. led all Major Leaguers with 3,082,600 total votes and paced the NL in voting for a third consecutive season en route to his fourth career All-Star selection and fourth consecutive fan-elected starting assignment. The 25-year-old became the third Braves player, and first since Dale Murphy in 1985, to lead the Majors in voting (also Hall of Famer Hank Aaron in 1970 and 1971). The Venezuela native, who is on pace to become the first player in history with at least 30 homers and 60 stolen bases in a single season, became the fourth player in Braves history to earn four fan elections, joining Aaron (5), Murphy (5) and Hall of Famer Chipper Jones (4). The last NL outfielder to earn a fan election in four consecutive seasons was Bryce Harper from 2015-18.
Ohtani paced all American League players, and finished second overall behind Acuña, with 2,646,307 votes to claim his third consecutive fan-elected start at designated hitter, joining Hall of Famer David Ortiz (2011-13) as the only players to do so. The two-way star, who was also the starting pitcher for the AL at the 2021 Midsummer Classic in Colorado, joins Hall of Famer Rod Carew (1979) and his teammate Mike Trout (2019) as the only Angels players to lead the AL in fan voting.
