Judge and Ohtani Lead MLB All-Star Voting in 2025 Fan Frenzy
Hey, have you been keeping up with the latest MLB All-Star voting update? Because it’s heating up fast, and the fans are making their voices heard loud and clear. The two names dominating the headlines—and the ballots—are none other than Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers. If the voting ended today, they’d be automatic starters in this year’s All-Star Game, scheduled for July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta.
Let’s start with Judge. The guy is absolutely crushing it this season. With over 1.56 million votes, he's leading all players in both leagues. Not only is he showing up big time at the plate with a staggering .378 average, 26 home runs, and a 1.229 OPS, but he’s also chasing history—on track to become the first player since A-Rod in 2007-08 to lead the All-Star voting in back-to-back years. That kind of consistency and fan support doesn’t come easy, and it speaks volumes about how much he's still revered across the baseball world.

And then there’s Ohtani—what more can be said about this two-way phenom? Now a designated hitter for the Dodgers, Ohtani has tallied nearly 1.4 million votes. His stats are electric: a .297 batting average, 25 homers, and 11 stolen bases with a 1.035 OPS. He’s not just putting up great numbers—he’s doing it with style, and he’s clearly got the full attention of the National League fans. What’s more, he’s leading a pack of strong NL contenders like Freddie Freeman, Will Smith, and Francisco Lindor, all of whom have already crossed the 1 million vote mark themselves.
Remember, we’re still in Phase 1 of voting, which runs until June 26. The top vote-getter in each league automatically secures a starting spot, while the rest head into Phase 2, where fans vote again among position finalists. And let’s not overlook the tight races at other spots—Gleyber Torres is narrowly ahead in the AL second base slot, and Jacob Wilson is surprisingly edging out Bobby Witt Jr. at shortstop. The third base race? That’s José RamÃrez’s territory, as he’s racked up nearly a million votes himself.
What’s fascinating is just how strong some of these races are shaping up to be. The American League and National League both have serious firepower, but it’s the depth in the NL outfield that’s particularly eye-catching. Ohtani may be leading DH, but Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, and Teoscar Hernández are all putting up big numbers and racking up support.
Bottom line: the fans are clearly locked in this year, and the All-Star Game is shaping up to be an unforgettable showcase of talent. If you haven’t cast your vote yet, don’t wait. You can vote up to five times every 24 hours on MLB.com or through the app. Judge and Ohtani are setting the pace, but with a few weeks left, anything can still happen.
Baseball fans—this is your moment. Make your votes count.
