Phase 1 of the voting for the 2025 PRO SPIRIT MLB All-Star Ballot has concluded, with results set to be announced on MLB Network during MLB Tonight at 6 p.m. ET. This announcement will reveal which players advance to Phase 2 in their pursuit of a spot in the All-Star Game scheduled for July 15 at Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves.
The leading vote-getters from both the American League and National League will secure automatic starting positions in the game. As of Monday's update, Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was ahead of Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh for the AL lead, while Shohei Ohtani led Dodgers teammates Will Smith and Freddie Freeman in the NL.
In this initial phase, two players per position (and six outfielders) will move forward to Phase 2. However, if Judge secures his spot as the top AL vote-getter, only four additional AL outfielders will advance to compete for two remaining spots.
Phase 2 voting is set to begin at noon on Monday and conclude at noon ET on Wednesday, July 2. Fans can cast their votes online or via mobile devices through MLB.com/vote and related platforms once per day until voting closes. The winners from this phase will be announced live on ESPN at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
Vote totals from Phase 1 do not carry over into Phase 2. For instance, Mets’ Francisco Lindor currently leads Dodgers’ Mookie Betts by over 400,000 votes in the NL shortstop race; however, both would start fresh if they advance to head-to-head competition in Phase 2.
Among notable races as of Monday's update are several closely contested battles across different positions.
