Phase 1 Of MLB All-Star Voting Complete/Phase 2 Starts Sunday

Friday, June 28th, 2024 -- 12:45 PM

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper will be All-Star starters for their respective leagues this year. Both players earned starting assignments because each led his league in voting during Phase 1 of the process.  

Because of their lofty early vote totals, Harper and Judge will bypass Phase 2 of the All-Star vote. As for other hopefuls, two or three finalists at each position in each league were selected based on Phase 1 totals. Phase 2 will see one player from each group of finalists emerge as a 2024 All-Star. 

Brewers catcher William Contreras is one of the two catchers in the National League to advance to Phase 2 as is outfielder Christian Yelich.  

The second phase of voting will begin this Sunday and conclude on July 3. All totals are reset for the new round and each player starts fresh.  Later on July 3, the winners of Phase 2 will be announced.

Bruce Bochy will manage the AL squad, while Torey Lovullo will be the NL skipper.

As for the remainder of the rosters, reserves and pitchers will be selected by a combination of player vote and selection by the commissioner's office. Full All-Star rosters will be revealed on July 7.  

This year's All-Star Game is in Arlington, Tex., on July 16.
