Ohtani bypasses Phase 2 of the process by being the top vote-getter in the AL. It remains to be seen if he will also be selected as a pitcher. Mike Trout and four Dodgers are finalists at their pos…
Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani was elected on Thursday to start the All-Star Game at designated hitter for the third straight year, while outfielder Mike Trout moved on to next week’s Phase 2 for a spot in July 11 game in Seattle.
“I would like to thank all the fans that voted for me,” Ohtani said in a statement released by the Angels. “This is a huge honor. I will use this as motivation and will continue to give it my all on the field.” Ohtani is the only player in history to be selected as an All-Star as a pitcher and position player in the same year, having done it in 2021 and 2022.
The first phase of voting narrows each position to two finalists with the top vote-getter in each league rewarded as the automatic starter at his position. Six outfielders compete for three starting spots.
