As of the first All-Star voting update, it’s not looking great for Giants players hoping to make the team as a starter. But it’s not hopeless either!
Good morning, baseball fans!
Earlier this week, the first updates for the 2025 MLB All-Star Game were released. As a reminder, we are asking our community to do targeted voting for Matt Chapman, Wilmer Flores, Jung Hoo Lee, Heliot Ramos and now Rafael Devers.
Currently, there is only one San Francisco Giants player in the top five of their category, and that is Devers, who I assume carries his votes with him to the National League because he is currently in second place for NL designated hitters.
Unfortunately that means he’s behind Shohei Ohtani, who has about half a million more votes than him.
Here’s where things stand for the five players we’ve been pushing for:
- Wilmer Flores: 9th place among NL First Basemen with 59,537 votes
- Matt Chapman: 8th place among NL Third Basemen with 183,223 votes
- Rafael Devers: 2nd place among NL Designated Hitters with 796,382 votes
- Heliot Ramos: 18th place among NL Outfielders with 140,206 votes
- Jung Hoo Lee: Not ranked among NL Outfielders in this update
I believe that this first phase of voting ends on June 26th, so I’m still planning to push for these same players for now. Which makes this an excellent opportunity for me to share the link to vote!
Make sure you get your votes in every day if you want to see any of your San Francisco Giants as starters in this year’s All-Star Game!
