Baseball’s $700 million man is proving to be worth every bit of his contract, as Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani has been named to the starters for the 2024 All-Star Game.
The game is set for Tuesday, July 16 at 8 p.m. ET at Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers.
The most votes were cast for Philadelphia Phillies star Bryce Harper and New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. Both earned automatic spots as the most-voted-on players during Phase 1 of voting. The top two players (and top six for outfielders) advance to Phase 2 of fan voting. Pitchers are determined by a player ballot and the Commissioner’s Office.
