Phase 2 of voting begins Monday.
Three Cubs players have made the final round of MLB All-Star voting for this summer’s game, to be held at Truist Park in Atlanta July 15.
Pete Crow-Armstrong led all National League outfielders with 3,021,265 votes and Kyle Tucker finished fourth with 1,794,776. The top six outfielders head to the final voting phase. The other four outfielders on that ballot; Teoscar Hernández, Ronald Acuña Jr., Andy Pages and Juan Soto.
Carson Kelly finished second among NL catchers with 1,183,100 votes, a distant second to Will Smith of the Dodgers (3,428,856). Kelly’s hot start to the season probably got him some votes.
Per MLB, here’s how the second phase of voting, which begins Monday, June 30 at 11 a.m. CT, will work:
Phase 2 voting, which is available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com/vote, all 30 Club web sites, the MLB App and the MLB Ballpark App, will give fans the opportunity to vote among the finalists at each position during a window that concludes at 11:00 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday, July 2. Later that night, the winners will be announced on ESPN at 6:00 p.m. (CT).
During this second phase of voting, in which fans can vote once per day on MLB platforms, vote totals will reset (i.e., vote totals from Phase 1 do not carry over) and the winner at each position (including three outfielders in the NL; and two remaining outfielders in the AL) will be named a starting position player for the 2025 Midsummer Classic.
PCA, I believe, will be voted a starter. Not sure about Tucker being an All-Star starter, but his numbers likely warrant a selection to the team. As mentioned on Wednesday’s Cubs broadcast on Marquee Sports Network, if Matthew Boyd keeps pitching the way he has recently, he might also make the team.
Here are all the first-round voting results. Players highlighted in yellow had the most votes in their respective leagues. First, the American League:
And the National League:
Good luck to PCA, Tucker and Kelly in the final round of voting!
