Dodgers pursue record for most MLB All-Star | College News
All-Star voting resumes Monday at 9 a.m. PDT for 48 hours with the Dodgers entertaining the chance of fielding an unprecedented eight place gamers.
The prime two vote-getters at each place through Phase 1 of voting are finalists and moved on to Phase 2, which ends Wednesday at 9 a.m. PDT. The defending World Series champion Dodgers boast a finalist at each infield place and two among six outfielders.
Even though only three Dodgers led National League Phase 1 voting at their place, all eight have an equal likelihood of beginning because votes don’t carry over to Phase 2. The participant at each place to accumulate the most votes in the two-day window will begin the July 15 sport at Truist Park in Atlanta.
“Very proud. It’s great,” Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts mentioned. “Obviously we’re playing well. As it stands now, we’re the best team in the National League, so we should have the most All-Star voting for the team.”
Shohei Ohtani locked in an computerized spot as beginning designated hitter because he led all National League gamers with 3,967,668 votes in Phase 1. Catcher Will Smith and first baseman Freddie Freeman are the opposite Dodgers to lead voting, while second baseman Tommy Edman, shortstop Mookie Betts and third baseman Max Muncy completed second. Among outfielders, Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages completed second and fifth, respectively.
In American League voting, the Angels’ Mike Trout is one of 4 finalists to secure one of two openings in the outfield. Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees already earned a beginning spot by main all gamers with 4,012,983 votes in Phase 1.
Trout, who has 13 home runs in 56 video games, is competing against Riley Green and Javier Báez of the Detroit Tigers and Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians.
Voting might be finished online at MLB.com/vote, all 30 staff web sites, the MLB app and the MLB ballpark app. The winners will likely be introduced on ESPN at 1 p.m.
The most place gamers voted to begin an All-Star Game from a single staff is 5 — achieved by the 1976 Cincinnati Reds ,the 1956 and 1957 Cincinnati Redlegs and the 1939 New York Yankees.
“I hope we get five, six, seven Dodgers,” Roberts mentioned. “That’d be great.”
