New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper are the first two players who earned a spot on the 2024 MLB All-Star team.
MLB announced the finalists for this year's Midsummer Classic after phase one of voting closed on Thursday. Harper and Judge, by virtue of being the leading vote-getters in their respective leagues at the end of the first phase, are automatically on the team.
The top two finishers at each position—top six for outfielders—in the first phase of voting advanced to the next round. Since Judge, who is an outfielder, led the AL vote, there are only four outfield finalists from the Junior Circuit for the remaining two spots.
