Yankees fans are making noise — and they have a point. As of the latest 2026 All-Star ballot update, breakout slugger Ben Rice sits second at American League first base, trailing only Vladimir Guerrero Jr. The Bronx thinks he belongs in the starting lineup.
The case for Ben Rice
The left-handed-hitting Yankee has turned heads with his power and on-base ability while filling in at first base, catcher, and DH. With Phase 1 voting closing soon, he's right in the thick of the run-off picture at first — and a late surge from Yankees Nation could push him through.
