Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani won the most votes in the NL with 3,967,668 votes, automatically confirming his selection without going through the second round of finals.
Most of the rest of the players also advanced to the second round of voting. Catcher Will Smith (3,428,856) and first baseman Freddie Freeman (3,392,751) topped the list in that position, and as many as seven people advanced to the second round of voting, including second baseman Tommy Edman (1,768,693), third baseman Max Muncy (1,665,829), shortstop Mookie Betts (2,094,921), outfielders Teoscar Hernandez (2,343,085) and Andy Pazs (1,789,553).
If they all win the second round of voting, there may be a true record of eight players, including Ohtani, playing as NL All-Star starters. Among the nine candidates for each position of the Dodgers, Michael Confoto is the only player who failed to make the second round of voting. However, even Confoto, who is struggling with a batting average of .100, scored 662,144 votes, ranking 13th out of 45 NL outfield candidates. It can only be seen as a 'Dodgers premium'.

None of the San Francisco players made it to the second round of voting. San Francisco's most voted player is designated hitter Rafael Devers (1,362,363), who was traded from the Boston Red Sox on the 16th, so it is hard to say that he got votes as a San Francisco player. Moreover, Devers is in a position to hope that Ohtani will be selected as an All-Star by MLB recommendation as the second round of voting for the designated hitter disappears due to the most votes in the NL.
Matt Chapman won the most votes in the team as a pure San Francisco player, finishing seventh in the NL third baseman category with 449,732 votes. This is less than one-fifth of the San Diego Padres' Manny Machado (2,495,554). In addition, he is unable to play in the All-Star due to a hand injury.
Willie Adames, who wore a San Francisco uniform for seven years and $182 million last winter, ranked 10th in the shortstop category with 184,721 votes.

The second round of voting in the NL outfield category includes Chicago Cubs Pete Crow-Armstrong (3,021,265), Teoscar, Atlanta Braves Ronald Acuña Jr. (1,888,867), Cubs Kyle Tucker (1,794,776), Pazs (1,789,553), and New York Mets Juan Soto (1,490,489). Soto recently swung a fire bat and tucked into the cut line in the outfield division.
Another peculiarity is that Seiya Suzuki finished fourth as a designated hitter. Suzuki had fewer votes than second-place Devers and third-place Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber (920,003) despite his All-Star-class performances tied for first in NL RBIs (67), fifth in home runs (21), and 15th in OPS (0.847). In the case of Suzuki, even if his teammates Cro-Armstrong and Tucker advance to the second round of voting and do not rank first to third, they are likely to be selected as MLB recommendations, so they will receive relatively less attention. Considering the equity between teams, it is unclear whether he will be selected as an All-Star.
Since at least one person must participate in all teams in the All-Star Game, Devers or Ramos may be possible if San Francisco picks one person, but the ace, No. 1 in pitching innings (107 ⅓), Webb, stands out relatively.
Earlier in the season, it was predicted that Lee Jung-hoo would be selected as an All-Star on behalf of San Francisco, but no one is mentioning it now.
