MLB provided its first update on All-Star voting Monday, and to the surprise of few,\u00a0Shohei Ohtani\u00a0leads the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two-way superstar for the\u00a0Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0is one of only two players who have cracked 1 million votes, with 1,165,133 votes for Ohtani to start as the designated hitter in the National League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other is\u00a0Houston Astros\u00a0slugger\u00a0Yordan Alvarez, the top-vote getter in the American League. He received 1,015,768 votes as the leader to play DH in the AL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The top vote-getters in each league through Phase 1 of All-Star fan voting earn a starting spot on their respective All-Star teams. The field will then be whittled down to Phase 2 of voting, which will determine the starters at each remaining position. Phase 2 of voting starts June 29.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As for whether Ohtani will appear as an All-Star pitcher for the NL during a season in which he’s an MVP\u00a0and Cy Young candidate, fans don’t have a say. Pitchers and backup position players\u00a0are determined via player ballot and the commissioner’s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s where the voting stands as of MLB’s reveal on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
