MLB News – 2023 All-Star Game

2023 MLB All-Star Game VotingPhase 1 of the 2023 MLB All-Star Game fan voting wrapped up Thursday morning and on Thursday evening, the two finalists for the starting spots in the Midsummer Classic at each position in each league were announced. Phase 2 of the voting to select the All-Star Game starters at each position begins Monday, June 26, and runs through Thursday, June 29. Phase 2 of the voting sees the vote totals from Phase 1 wiped clean. Fans will now choose one starter at each position in each league based on head-to-head matchups (with the exception of the outfield, where the top three vote-getters of the six finalists will be named starters). As part of this year’s voting process, the leading vote-getter in each league in Phase 1 gets to skip Phase 2 and is given an All-Star Game starting spot automatically. Braves wunderkind Ronald Acuña Jr. led all players with 3,082,600 votes and was voted in as a starter for the fourth straight All-Star Game. Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani led American Leaguers with 2,646,307 votes. This will be Ohtani’s third straight All-Star Game start at DH. He also started the 2021 game on the mound.
