Betts heads pack in All-Star voting; J.D. on pace

Backed by a monster start to this season, Mookie Betts has seen his popularity soar. The ultra-talented outfielder leads all Major League players in fan balloting for the 2018 All-Star Game.

VOTE: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot

The first American League ballot update was released Tuesday, and Betts had 748,872 votes. The fact that Betts is the leader in the outfield -- not to mention all of MLB -- is particularly impressive when you consider Mike Trout and Aaron Judge are also on the ballot. Reigning AL MVP Award winner Jose Altuve and Trout rank second and third among vote-getters across MLB.
