NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: After being the leading vote-getter in the American League, Yankees’ outfielder Aaron Judge, who entered Thursday’s game with 29 home runs and a 178 wRC+, officially made his fourth All-Star Game and will be a starter.
In fact, Judge led all players with a whopping 3,762,498 total votes. Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves was the other player who made the Midsummer Classic in the first phase by virtue of leading the National League in votes.
According to MLB, the second phase of voting, which begins at noon eastern on Tuesday, July 5th, features the top two vote-getters at each position (and the next four outfielders after Judge/Acuña).
