(CNN) Major League Baseball created a new process to determine who will play in the 2019 MLB All-Star Game, and the first phase of voting is complete.
Now, we're down to three players at each position in both the American League (AL) and National League (NL) as the second phase is underway.
The Starters Election balloting process began at noon ET today and ends tomorrow at 4 p.m. ET. Vote totals from the first round do not carry over, as all votes are reset to zero for the second round.
Fans can now vote on MLB.com and through Google.com, and the winners will be revealed at 7 p.m. ET Thursday on ESPN.
Whoever receives the highest total votes from the AL and NL will determine the eight starting position players along with the designated hitter for the AL.
The designated hitter is exclusive to the AL, and it allows a hitter not playing a position to replace the pitcher in the batting order.
Alex Cora will serve as manager for the AL, while Dave Roberts will oversee the team for the NL. Each manager will decide which pitchers will start the game, and Roberts can choose which player will serve as the designated hitter for the NL.
The finalists from the first round of voting:

Second base
