Eight different teams are represented among the nine leaders. The group includes two players from the Red Sox and one each from the Orioles, White Sox, Indians, Astros, Angels, Yankees and Rays.

This year would mark the first time in either league since voting returned to fans in 1970 that eight teams were represented. The National League has had seven different teams among the winners on eight occasions, most recently in 2014, and the American League has had seven different teams among the winners 12 times, including last year.

Adam Jones remains on the outside among the top 15 outfielders.

The All-Star Game will be played July 17 at Nationals Park.
