MLB published the first update on the fan voting for the 2022 All-Star starters on Tuesday, and Aaron Judge has received 1,512,368 votes so far. That's more than 200,000 votes over the next-closest American League player, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout, who also ranks second in home runs to Judge.
Mookie Betts, the outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, leads the National League with 1,446,050 votes. But Betts' advantage isn't nearly as influential as Judge's, as Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is behind Betts by only 50,000 votes.
Major League Baseball has published a first update on the voting cycle for the 2022 All-Star Game. The game will take place on Tuesday, July 19, at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. With the new system, MLB has decided to start the All-Star Game based on the league with the most votes, authorizing them to skip the second phase.

Voting process
The voting process remains at Stage 1, so fans can continue to vote for players until Thursday, June 30.
MLB will begin Phase 2 on Tuesday, July 5, after which fans will choose between the top two players in each position and the top six outfielders to determine who will start this year's Midsummer Classic. The top two vote-getters at every post, including designated hitters, and the top six outfielders in each league will be revealed on June 30 at 2 PM during a live MLB Network special.
ESPN will broadcast the starting lineup and full roster on Sunday, July 10, following the conclusion of Phase 2 on Friday, July 8. The starting positions at Dodger Stadium will go to Judge and Betts if they continue to lead their leagues.
Voting continues at MLB.com and on the official websites of the 30 teams.
Other leading vote-getters
The AL ballot has a couple of tight races. Among all teams, four Toronto Blue Jays players are in first place at their respective positions. In the race for second place among second basemen, Blue Jays' Santiago Espinal exceeds Cleveland Guardians' Andrés Giménez by just over 8,00 votes.
Boston Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts and Chicago White Sox's Tim Anderson are separated by just over 3,000 votes in the race for the second shortstop position. Over 8,000 votes separate New York Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton and Los Angeles Angels' Taylor Ward for the fourth and final outfield position.
The New York Mets' Jeff McNeil and the Atlanta Braves' Ozzie Albies are in a close race for second place in the National League. More than 9,000 votes currently favor Albies.
Other than Judge, Betts, Acuña Jr., and Trout, only Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper and Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk have reached over one million votes so far.
