Our All-Star Ballot: The Best at Every Slot

JUNE 28, 2026

Our All-Star rosters — the best player at every position by our own metrics.

These are our All-Star picks, one name per position chosen by our metrics, not by who got the most clicks. Some slots were never in doubt. Others came down to a few points.

American League All-Stars

Our All-Star roster — the best bat at each position by our MVP Score, the top starter by Cy Young Score, and a setup reliever and closer by form.

Yordan Alvarez runs away with the DH spot at 85.4, a .320 average and 25 homers that nobody else in the league touches. The fun call is at first, where Ben Rice (81.1) edges in front after years of thin Yankee production at the bag, while Byron Buxton's 77.2 in center quietly leads a deeper field; closer Louis Varland gets the nod at a 95 form with a 0.84 ERA.

National League All-Stars

Our All-Star roster — the best bat at each position by our MVP Score, the top starter by Cy Young Score, and a setup reliever and closer by form.

Kyle Schwarber's 79.9 and 29 home runs make him the easy DH pick, but the headliner is Jacob Misiorowski, whose 89.1 starter Score towers over everyone in either league behind a 1.45 ERA. Juan Soto takes left at 77.9, and Washington lands two more in CJ Abrams (75.8) at short and James Wood (76.9) in right. Mason Miller closes it out at a perfect 100 form.
