Two of the starters were already known: New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani were the vote leaders in their respective leagues. As a reward, they were both allowed to forgo the second phase of voting and were named to starting posts.

Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte, New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor and San Diego third baseman Manny Machado also were voted NL starters.
