MLB All-Star Game: Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts are main vote-getters in league’s first balloting replace

Major League Baseball launched the primary balloting replace of the cycle for the 2022 All-Star Game, which is scheduled to happen on Tuesday, July 19, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.

The voting course of stays in Phase 1, that means that followers can proceed to vote for gamers by means of Thursday, June 30. MLB will start Phase 2 on Tuesday, July 5, at which level followers will probably be choosing between the highest two vote getters at every place (and the highest six amongst outfielders) to find out who will begin this 12 months’s Midsummer Classic. Phase 2 will then finish on Friday, July 8, with starters and full rosters being introduced on ESPN on Sunday, July 10.

In a brand new wrinkle, MLB has established that the highest vote recipient in every league will routinely begin the All-Star Game, permitting them to bypass the second part. So far, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge leads the majors with greater than 1.5 million votes, and injured Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts ranks second with greater than 1.4 million votes.
