Fans can cast their votes for the 2024 MLB All-Star Ballot presented by BuildSubmarines.com until Wednesday at noon ET.

Here are the latest Phase 2 All-Star standings.
American League
First Base
– Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays: 60%
– Ryan Mountcastle, Orioles: 40%
Guerrero (.297 AVG, 13 HR, .846 OPS) leads Mountcastle (.273 AVG, 11 HR, .777 OPS) as he aims for his fourth straight All-Star appearance. The reigning Home Run Derby champion hasn’t had a hit in the All-Star Game since his first in 2021, which was a home run off Corbin Burnes.
Second Base
– Jose Altuve, Astros: 57%
– Marcus Semien, Rangers: 43%
Altuve (.304 AVG, 13 HR, .822 OPS) leads Semien (.235 AVG, 11 HR, .683 OPS) and is close to being voted an All-Star starter for the sixth time and making his ninth career All-Star team. Semien, a two-time All-Star and the only 2024 finalist from the defending World Series champions, has some ground to cover to represent the Rangers in the starting lineup.
Shortstop
– Gunnar Henderson, Orioles: 65%
– Bobby Witt Jr., Royals: 35%
In a highly competitive race, Henderson (.288 AVG, 26 HR, 13 SB, .988 OPS) holds a significant lead over Witt (.312 AVG, 12 HR, 22 SB, .897 OPS). The Orioles’ young stars, Henderson and Adley Rutschman, are both poised for their first career All-Star starts this year.
Third Base
– José Ramírez, Guardians: 60%
– Jordan Westburg, Orioles: 40%
Ramírez (23 HR, 76 RBIs, .889 OPS) is on track to make his sixth All-Star appearance in seven years, maintaining his lead over Westburg, who is batting .281 with 13 homers and an .837 OPS in his first full MLB season.
