The list of starting players in the American League and the National League, which will shine in the 2024 All-Star Game of the U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB), was released on the 4th (Korea time). The list was selected through the first and second fan voting, and the starting players were decided in nine positions in each league.
The first round of voting was conducted by selecting two final candidates for each position, and the final one was selected through the second round of voting. In particular, New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Bryce Harper, who received the most votes in the first round of voting, automatically went straight to the All-Star Game without the second round.
In the National League, Trey Turner of the Philadelphia Phillies beat Mookie Betts of the Los Angeles Dodgers for shortstop and Alec Bohm, Turner's teammate, beat Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres for third baseman. This will help Philadelphia players, including Harper, shine on the All-Star Game stage. Betts, who is called an all-around player, however, is sidelined due to a broken back in his left hand.
Meanwhile, Shohei Ohtani (Dodgers), who has become MLB's representative star, was selected as the National League's designated hitter (DH) without difficulty, and Ohtani was honored to play in the All-Star Game as the designated hitter for the first time in history for four consecutive years.
The National League All-Star roster included William Contreras (catcher, Milwaukee Brewers), Ketel Marte (second baseman, Arizona Diamondbacks), outfielders Christian Yelich (Miladelphia), Uriksson Profar, and Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego).
The American League All-Star infield consisted of Adley Rutchman (baltimore Orioles), Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (first baseman, Toronto Blue Jays), Jose Altuve (second baseman, Houston Astros), Jose Ramirez (third baseman, Cleveland Guardians), and Gunner Henderson (striker, Baltimore). The outfield was played by Aaron Judge (Yankees), Juan Soto (Yankees), and Stephen Kwan (Cleveland), while Jordan Alvarez (Houston) was the designated hitter.
In this All-Star Game, Harper was honored with his seventh start, followed by Judge and Altuve with his sixth start each. 스포츠토토
