More than 2.6 million votes, the most in the league, the second achievement following Ichiro
On the 22nd (Japan time 23rd), Angels pitcher Shohei Otani was 2,646,307 in the American League designated hitter division as a result of the first vote by fans for the starting fielders of the All-Star game (July 11, Seattle). He got votes and became the league’s most voted. This is the third time in a row that he has been selected, and the Japanese player who has won the most votes in the league has been the second player in 20 years since Ichiro in 2003, which was the top of both leagues for three consecutive years from the first year.

“I would like to thank all the fans who voted for me. I think it’s a great honor. With this as my motivation, I will continue to do my best on the ground,” Ohtani said.
Ohtani hit 24 homers, the most in both leagues, and marked a batting average of .292 with 58 RBIs. His slugging percentage of .616 and OPS of .993 are also tops in both leagues. On the other hand, he recorded 6 wins and 3 losses as a pitcher with a 3.13 ERA. Attention will be paid to whether the pitcher and backup fielder will be announced for the third consecutive year on July 2nd (3rd), when the pitcher and backup fielder will be announced by voting among players.
