Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the most votes in both leagues in the first round of All-Star fan voting.

According to MLB's interim tally of the first fan vote announced on the 24th (Korea time), Judge won 2,699,483 votes in the AL outfielder category, becoming the most voted man in both leagues.

In the case of Judge, it is highly likely that he will become the winner of the most votes for two consecutive years following last year. In response, MLB.com said, "'Jersey is likely to win the most votes for the second consecutive year for the first time since Alex Rodriguez (2007-2008). Of course, last year's NL MVP Ohtani should not be excluded. However, to his surprise, Ohtani has not yet won the most votes in both leagues.




Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh was second in the AL with 1,901,389 votes.

In the NL, Ohtani, the designated hitter of the Los Angeles Dodgers, ranks first with 2.52 million votes. The difference between Ohtani and Judge is 177,765, and considering the rest of the period, it seems unlikely that Ohtani will catch up with Judge.

Ohtani has never topped the entire MLB All-Star fan vote. The most voted All-Star fan vote since 2021, when he began his dual pitching career, is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Toronto), Judge in 2022, Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta) in 2023, and Judge in 2024.




However, Ohtani ranked first in the AL in 2021 and 2023 when he was with the Los Angeles Angels.

In this season, Judge is ahead of Ohtani in his performance itself. As of the 23rd, Judge ranks first overall in batting average (0.367), hits (105), on-base percentage (0.468), slugging percentage (0.727), OPS (1.195) and bWAR (5.6). Ohtani ranks first in scoring (76) in both leagues, and first in home runs (26), slugging percentage (0.624) and OPS (1.014) in NL.

The first All-Star fan voting begins on the same day and ends at 1 a.m. on the 27th. The second round of fan voting will be held from July 31 to July 3. After that, the pitchers and fielders selected by MLB will be announced. The Major League All-Star Game, which marks its 95th anniversary this year, will be held at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia on July 16.
