The Milwaukee Brewers are one of the power house teams in the National League this year as just four teams currently have records over .500. Milwaukee has received excellent contributions from more than a handful of players and while every team has to have a representative in the All-Star game the Brewers are currently in position to have at least two play in the mid-summer classic.
Two Milwaukee Brewers players are in a good position to be 2024 All-Stars.
MLB All-star voting is broken up into two phases. Phase one runs until June 27 in which the top two players at each position move onto phase two. During the second phase starters for the game are elected. With 10 days left to vote during phase one both Christian Yelich and William Contreras currently find themselves in position to move onto the second phase.

One Milwaukee Brewers player currently is just missing the cut as an All-Star finalist.
When looking at the rankings Brewers third baseman Joey Ortiz currently has the third most votes among third baseman. Alec Bohm of the Philadelphia Phillies is the largest vote receiver by a wide margin and Manny Machado of the San Diego Padres is just slightly above Ortiz. Hopefully Ortiz can catch Machado and be eligible to move onto phase two.
Shortstop Willy Adames, who is tied for the most runs batted in among shortstops in the league, currently has the fifth most votes at his position. Mookie Betts and Trea Turner are currently in position to be finalists, but Betts just landed on the injured list and Turner suffered a hamstring injury in early May. Elly De La Cruz and Orlando Arcia are the other two with more votes than Adames.
Will any Milwaukee Brewers pitchers make the All-Star game?
All-Star elections for pitchers is different than position players in that a combination of player votes as well as selections made by the Commissioners office determines who makes the mid-summer classic. Reliever Bryan Hudson is the most likely pitcher to make it from the Brewers, but it’s possible that others like Jared Koenig and Trevor Megill get consideration as well.
