Catcher Adley Rutschman, shortstop Gunnar Henderson and first baseman Ryan Mountcastle finished first in the first phase of voting while third baseman Jordan Westburg and designated hitter Ryan O’Hearn finished second, and outfielder Anthony Santander was fourth among outfielders.

Mountcastle and Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are the first base finalists while Westburg and Cleveland’s José Ramirez will face off in the final phase of voting for third basemen.
O’Hearn, who was fourth in Monday’s voting, finished second to Houston’s Yordan Alvarez among designated hitters.
