Guerrero Jr. Leads Six Blue Jays in Mlb All Star Voting Surge

The first mlb all star voting update on Monday put six Toronto Blue Jays in the top two at their positions in the American League. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leads first base, and Ernie Clement leads second base, giving Toronto a rare early push across the ballot ahead of July 14th.

Guerrero Jr. and Clement Lead

Guerrero is first at first base, while Clement is first at second base. Clement has well more than double the votes of the player behind him, a gap that gives Toronto one of the clearest advantages in the update.

Alejandro Kirk is second at catcher, Andrés Giménez is second at his position, Kazuma Okamoto is second at his position, and George Springer is second in the outfield race. That puts six Blue Jays among the top two vote-getters at their positions, with Toronto showing up across the infield, behind the plate, and in the outfield.

Blue Jays Ballot Pressure

The early vote comes after a season in which the Blue Jays were 34-38 through their first 72 games and sat in third place in the American League East. They had not yet played a single game with a roster that was 100% healthy top to bottom, and those injuries have slowed a club that won the World Series last season before falling just short in Game 7 against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

That backdrop makes the voting surge more striking. The ballot is leaning toward Toronto players even while the team has had to grind through its season, and the numbers show how broad the support has been at this stage.

July 14th Race

The first update does not decide anything on its own, but it gives the Blue Jays a strong position as the All-Star process moves toward July 14th. For Toronto, the immediate takeaway is simple: the top of several AL races already runs through the same roster.
