Major League Baseball announced the 2021 All-Star starters Thursday as voted on by fans.
For the second time, the starters were elected through a two-phase election. After a primary vote, fans chose the starters from a final group of three players at each infield position and a group of the top nine outfielders.
Pitchers and reserves for each league will be announced Sunday. The 91st MLB All-Star Game will take place July 13 at Coors Field in Denver.
