Current balloting leaders include the Atlanta Braves' Drake Baldwin and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Will Smith at catcher; the Dodgers' Freddie Freeman and the Braves' Matt Olson at first base; the Braves' Ozzie Albies and the Philadelphia Phillies' Bryson Stott at second base; the Dodgers' Max Muncy and the Phillies' Alec Bohm at third base; the Washington Nationals' CJ Abrams and the Dodgers' Mookie Betts at shortstop; the Dodgers' Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez, the Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II, the New York Mets' Juan Soto and the Philadelphia Phillies' Brandon Marsh in the outfield; and the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani at designated hitter.
The top vote-getter in each league through June 25 earns an automatic All-Star bid. The top two vote-getters at each position (top six for outfielders) advance to the finals.
Ohtani leads all vote-getters, meaning he'll start at designated hitter for the National League. The Toronto Blue Jays' Ernie Clement leads American League vote-getters, meaning he'll start at second base for the AL.
