One of the more underrated parts of the Major League Baseball calendar, for me, is the period from late May through early July, when the All Star teams for the American and National Leagues are selected, particularly the fan voting portion of the selection process. It's awesome in its imperfection, in that the fan voting is a zany barometer combo of performance, in-sport relevance, and popularity.
Fortunately, for Astros fans like me, our players here have scored very high in all three of those categories, although admittedly the"popularity" portion of the fan voting beauty contest has been dicey since the sign stealing scandal punishment. That said, this year is no different. The first wave of All Star voting results have been posted, and there are several Astros in the mix to play in the Midsummer Classic.
A reminder that this phase of voting ends in about a week, and the top two vote getters at each position will then got to a runoff to see who will be the starter in Seattle on July 11 at the MLB All Stare Game. As of Tuesday morning, here are2. Jonah Heim, Rangers - 320,0285. Martín Maldonado, Astros - 154,7998. Matt Thaiss, Angels - 116,7161. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays - 545,9764. Nathaniel Lowe, Rangers - 192,6438. Ryan Mountcastle, Orioles - 80,2741.
