Travis Bazzana is leading the Guardians in phase 1 All-Star voting, and the 23-year-old rookie is also third among American League second basemen. That puts him ahead of every other Guardians player as voting moves through June 25.
Travis Bazzana Tops Guardians
He has the most All-Star votes of any Guardians player in the first phase. For a rookie second baseman, that means the early fan vote has already placed him in a position that usually belongs to more established names.
Ernie Clement and Ezequiel Duran are ahead of him among American League second basemen, but Bazzana’s standing still gives the Guardians a clear top vote-getter inside the club. The current ballot snapshot matters because the field does not freeze here; fans still have time to change the order before the first round closes.
Jose Ramirez Behind The Field
Jose Ramirez adds the most direct complication to the ballot picture. The 7-time All-Star is only fifth among American League third basemen, and he would likely miss the game after Saturday’s hand injury.
That leaves Cleveland with a ballot led by a rookie at one spot and a veteran star slipping behind at another. It also keeps the focus on how much late voting can still move the board before the top 2 finalists at each position are named after June 25.
Gavin Williams And Cade Smith
The Guardians have more than one player in the mix. Gavin Williams has a league-leading 9 wins, and Cade Smith has 23 saves, the most in baseball.
Those numbers help explain why the team remains visible in the voting even with Bazzana leading the way. Fans voting now are not deciding a final roster spot yet; they are shaping which Guardians players survive to the next phase after June 25.
