Familiar names top the ballot box for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game as the New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge is the top vote getter in the American League, and the Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani leads the National League, after the latest returns. Judge has previously led the league in voting twice before, while Ohtani has done it once before, and if this holds when Phase 1 of balloting ends on Thursday at noon ET, then they will automatically receive starting spots for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on July 15.
Per MLB.com, Judge leads all players with 2,699,483 votes as he looks to become the first player since Alex Rodriguez (2007-08) to top the majors in votes in consecutive years. Judge also led the AL in votes in 2022, as he went on to win the American League MVP award in both of those seasons. He’s well on his way to not only leading the AL in votes again but also winning the league’s MVP as he tops the league in multiple categories, including batting average, OPS, runs, and hits.
