The Chicago Cubs have three players advancing to the final stage of the MLB All-Star voting for the 2024 game, scheduled to take place July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. Pete Crow-Armstrong, a standout outfielder, leads the National League in votes, positioning himself as a strong candidate for a starting role, with final voting set to begin June 30.
Outfielders Crow-Armstrong and Tucker Among Top Vote-Getters
Pete Crow-Armstrong topped all National League outfielders, receiving an impressive 3,021,265 votes. Kyle Tucker of the Houston Astros also made the final cut, ranking fourth with 1,794,776 votes. The top six outfielders advanced to the next phase of voting include Crow-Armstrong, Tucker, Teoscar Hernández, Ronald Acuña Jr., Andy Pages, and Juan Soto. Fans will now decide which three outfielders from the NL and two from the AL will start in the All-Star game.
Carson Kelly Among Leading Catchers Entering Final Vote
Carson Kelly, also of the Cubs, secured the second-highest number of votes among National League catchers with 1,183,100, following Will Smith of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who garnered 3,428,856 votes. Kelly’s strong start to the season has likely contributed to his prominence in the balloting, making him a hopeful selection for the All-Star roster.
Details on Phase Two of MLB All-Star Voting Process
The second and final phase of voting gets underway on Monday, June 30, at 11 a.m. Central Time. Fans can cast votes exclusively online and through mobile platforms including MLB.com/vote, all 30 club websites, the MLB app, and the MLB Ballpark app. Voting will continue until 11 a.m. CT on Wednesday, July 2.

“Phase 2 voting, which is available exclusively online and via mobile devices at MLB.com/vote, all 30 Club web sites, the MLB App and the MLB Ballpark App, will give fans the opportunity to vote among the finalists at each position during a window that concludes at 11:00 a.m. (CT) on Wednesday, July 2.

Prospects for Cubs Players in the Final Balloting
There is optimism surrounding Crow-Armstrong’s chances to be named an All-Star starter, given his lead in votes among National League outfielders. While Kyle Tucker’s abilities strongly suggest that he will make the team, his position as a starter is less certain. Additionally, some believe that if pitcher Matthew Boyd maintains his recent performance level, he too could earn an All-Star spot this year. Fans will closely watch the results when they are revealed on July 2.
Summary of First Round Voting Results
The initial round of voting revealed strong support for several players across both leagues. Notably, Pete Crow-Armstrong led outfielders in the National League, while Carson Kelly stood out among catchers. The full list of results highlighted key contenders who have now advanced to the decisive phase. These outcomes set the stage for a competitive final vote and an exciting buildup to the All-Star event.
Looking Ahead to the MLB All-Star Game
The final phase of voting will be crucial in defining the starting lineup for the 2024 All-Star Game, with passionate fan engagement expected as supporters rally behind their favorites. The selections for each position will influence team rosters and spotlight top performers midway through the MLB season. Best wishes go to Pete Crow-Armstrong, Kyle Tucker, and Carson Kelly as they vie for starting honors and All-Star recognition.
