Ronald Acuna is the second overall leading vote-getter for Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game, as the league announced the first set of results in Phase 1 balloting on Monday.
Acuna, the Braves outfielder, received 834,287 votes, second only to Blue Jays first baseman and overall leader Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with 857,956 votes. Angels outfielder Mike Trout (706,503) and Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (701,251) round out the top four spots.
In addition to Acuna leading all National League outfielders, the Braves are well represented. Ozzie Albies leads all second baseman, Freddie Freeman is second among first basemen, Austin Riley is fifth among third basemen and William Contreras is fifth among catchers.
The top three vote getters at each position, plus the top nine outfielders, in each league will advance to Phase 2 of the voting, which will determine the starters for this year’s All-Star Game at Coors Field in Denver.
Phase 1 voting concludes June 24 and the results will be announced on June 27. Phase 2 will last for four days and conclude on July 1. Later that day, the starting teams will be announced on ESPN at 9 p.m.
