The first round of voting for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game ends Thursday morning, which means time is running out to make sure the Seattle Mariners are well represented.
The Seattle Mariners are scheduled to host the All-Star Game at T-Mobile Park on Tuesday, July 11. After looking at all the players listed in the MLB All-Star Ballot, it appears the majority of the Mariners will be watching the game from the stands or at home.

Here’s how the MLB All-Star ballot works: The top two players at each position, and top six outfielders will make the team. The Mariners don’t have a single player on the roster as of the June 20 standings. However, every MLB team is guaranteed at least one representative.
Fans may assume that Seattle’s star outfielder Julio Rodriguez would be the man to claim that spot – if it turns out there’s only one sole Mariner on the All-Star roster, but that spot could be taken by a pitcher. According to the MLB, All-Star pitchers will be announced at a later date.
As of June 20, it looks like the top player baseball fans want to see in the All-Star game is Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. with 2,201,468 votes. The next four players in the top five are Angels’ designated hitter Shohei Ohtani, Dodgers first basemen Freddie Freeman, Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette.
