The ballot also includes first baseman Chris Davis, second baseman Jonathan Schoop, shortstop J.J. Hardy, third baseman Manny Machado, catcher Welington Castillo, and outfielders Adam Jones, Seth Smith and Mark Trumbo.

Balloting, which started today, is done exclusively online for the third consecutive year via mobile devices at MLB.com, all 30 club websites and the MLB.com At Bat and MLB.com Ballpark mobile apps.

The pitchers and reserves for both squads – 22 for the American League and 23 for the National League – will be determined through a combination of “Player Ballot” choices and selections made by the commissioner’s office.

Fans again will be allowed to vote for a final player from both leagues from a list of five.

The 88th Midsummer Classic, hosted by the Marlins on July 11 for the first time in the franchise’s history, will mark the first All-Star Game played in the state of Florida.

The Orioles had five representatives last year: Machado, Trumbo, catcher Matt Wieters and relievers Zach Britton and Brad Brach.
