2025 MLB All-Star Voting: Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani Leaders after First Fan Update

Published June 17, 2025

The MVP front-runners are understandably also the top recipients in initial voting for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game.

2025 MLB All-Star Voting Overall Leaders

New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani lead the American League and National League, respectively, with the most votes so far after Monday's release of the initial batch of ballots.

The first round of fan voting runs through on June 26. At that point, the top two players at each position (including six outfielders per league) will be voted in a run-off to determine the starts for the July 15 showcase in Atlanta.

Judge leads all players with 1,568,527 votes and could become the first repeat top All-Star vote-getter since Alex Rodriguez (2007-08). The six-time All-Star and two-time MVP has about 525,000 votes more than Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh, who is the next closest AL player.

In the NL, Ohtani has 1,398,771 votes. That gives the three-time MVP about 262,000 votes more than Dodgers teammate Freddie Freeman, who is currently in second place. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong currently comes in third place in the voting.

Sunday's blockbuster trade between the Boston Red Sox and the San Francisco Giants also impacted All-Star voting. With Rafael Devers (796,382) joining San Francisco from Boston, he bumped Chicago's Seiya Suzuki for the second spot in the DH ballot in the NL behind Ohtani.

Both Judge and Raleigh are currently the only two AL players with more than a million votes. New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor joins Ohtani, Freeman, and Crow-Armstrong as the four NL stars who have surpassed that tally. Here's a full list of the top vote-getters by position:
