How does the MLB All-Star voting work?

There are a combination of polls that lead to the team selections, with fans, players and the commissioner’s office all getting a say.

Fans have a huge say, with 50 per cent of their selections for the two starting line-ups counting towards the final selections.

Players get a say in who will be the reserves and the pitchers for each of the two teams and their opinions could for 25 per cent of the total vote.

The commissioner’s office will then select six additional players for each league, which will be made up of four pitchers and two position players.

The reason for this is that it ensures that each team in Major League Baseball will have at least one All-Star representative.

A final vote then takes place, which is a fan vote where an extra player for each league is selected.

MLB All-Star Game MVP Award

The MVP (Most Valuable Player) Award is awarded to the game’s most influential participant.

The first All-Star Game MVP award was given out in 1962 to two players, Maury Wells and Leon Wagner.

The award has been named the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award since 2002 and a glass bat engraved with the winner's name is awarded.

Five players have the distinction of having been awarded the prize twice. They are: Willie Mays, Steve Garvey, Gary Carter, Cal Ripken and Mike Trout.

The name and trophy for the award was known as the Arch Ward Memorial Award between 1962 and 1970 and the Commissioner's Trophy between 1970 and 1985.
