Jose Altuve's transition to the outfield has created confusion in his All-Star voting positioning. As of the latest count, Altuve, primarily a left fielder this season, is still listed among second basemen. Despite his struggles this season, batting .274 with 10 home runs and 30 RBI, he ranks third in fan voting behind Gleyber Torres and Jackson Holliday.

This peculiar voting status raises questions about MLB's ballot procedures, particularly since Altuve has played more games in left field than at second base or designated hitter. The voting, which opened on June 4, seems to have overlooked Altuve's actual position this season, complicating his chances for a 10th All-Star appearance.
