On Wednesday, polls opened for the 2019 Google MLB Starters Election to vote players into the All-Star Game.
Major League Baseball created a new process to determine who will play in the 2019 MLB All-Star Game, and the first phase of voting is complete.
Now, the voting is down to three players at each position in both the American League (AL) and National League (NL) as the second phase is underway.
The Starters Election balloting process began at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday and ends Thursday at 2:00 p.m. Vote totals from the first round do not carry over, as all votes are reset to zero for the second round.
Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon and Trevor Story are the Rockies players who are finalists in this round of voting.The Rockies shared posts on Twitter on Wednesday, asking fans to ‘#VoteRox’.
Fans can now vote on MLB.com and through Google.com, and the winners will be revealed at 5:00 p.m. Thursday on ESPN.
Whoever receives the highest total votes from the AL and NL will determine the eight starting position players along with the designated hitter for the AL.
Trevor Story shared this message on Twitter, explaining why fans should vote for Nolan Arenado and Charlie Blackmon.
Charlie Blackmon made his own post on Twitter Wednesday morning.
