For the third time in his six-year Major League career, Aaron Judge has been elected as an All-Star Game starter.
After earning 13 percent of the vote among American League outfielders in Phase 2 of fan balloting, the 29-year-old right fielder will be the Yankees’ sole representative in the starting lineup at the 2021 Midsummer Classic, which is set to take place on Tuesday, July 13, at Coors Field in Denver.
As announced Thursday night on ESPN during the 2021 Google MLB All-Star Starters Reveal, Judge finished behind the Angels’ Mike Trout, who received 19 percent of the vote, and slightly ahead of the Blue Jays’ Teoscar Hernández, who obtained 12 percent of it and snuck past the Twins’ Byron Buxton in a tight race for the final two AL outfield spots.
