2026 MLB All-Star Ballot First Update: Ohtani Leads, Yordan Tops NL

The Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani and the Astros' Yordan Alvarez are the leading vote-getters for the National League and American League, respectively, in the first update of the 2026 MLB All-Star ballot.

Ohtani leads all players with 1,165,133 votes. If that holds, it would be the first time the two-way superstar has topped all of baseball in All-Star balloting. He leads Alvarez by more than 149,000 votes for the MLB lead. Alvarez has tallied 1,015,768 votes and leads by a staggering 692,000-plus over the rest of the AL DH field. Both are on track to earn automatic starting spots as their league's leading vote-getter if they hold their leads when Phase 1 closes June 25 at noon ET.

The 2026 MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard is July 14 at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and will air live on FOX and be streamed on FOX One. Fans can vote up to five times per 24-hour period at MLB.com, on all 30 club sites or on the MLB app. The top two vote-getters at each position and the top six outfielders advance to Phase 2, which opens June 29.
