Five Toronto Blue Jays players are among the finalists for the 2021 All-Star Game voting ballot, with home run leader Vladimir Guerrero Jr. leading the way.
After Phase 1 results, Guerrero Jr. remains atop the MLB ballot with 2,704,788 total votes, joining José Bautista (2011, 2014) and Josh Donaldson (2015) as the lone Blue Jays to finish atop the majors in all-Star balloting. Marcus Semien leads all second basemen with 1,810,230 votes.
Three other Blue Jays will move on to the next round as Bo Bichette sits second among shortstops, while Teoscar Hernández (sixth) and Randal Grichuk (ninth) are also among the finalists.
Guerrero Jr. leads MLB with 26 home runs and 64 RBI this season while slashing .341/.444/.685. Semien tops all second basemen with 18 home runs and is second with 45 RBI wit a .278/.344/.520 line in his first season with Toronto.
The second phase of voting, which begins June 28 and lasts until July 1, will determine the starters for the game.
This year’s All-Star Game takes place July 13 at Coors Field in Colorado.
