Three Mets are moving on to Round 2 of All-Star Game voting. Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Pete Alonso were officially named finalists on Thursday night. Lindor was the top vote-getter among shortstops in the National League during Phase 1 of voting, but he'll now have to beat out Dodgers star Mookie Betts as he looks to land his first All-Star appearance as a Met. Advertisement The 31-year-old has slowed down a bit after his scorching start to the season, but he's still produced 16 homers and 43 RBI while swiping 13 bags through 79 games. Alonso finished second among first basemen behind only Freddie Freeman. The big man has also cooled off following his spectacular first few months, but he's still launched 18 homers and remains fourth in the National League with 64 RBI. Soto joins former Mets prospect Pete-Crow Armstrong, Teoscar Hernandez, Kyle Tucker, Andy Pages, and Ronald Acuña Jr. as the six outfield finalists for the National League. His slow start to the season appears to officially be behind him, as he's put together a historic month of June with an incredible 11 homers and 20 RBI over his last 25 games.

Remaining starters will be announced July 2. Pitchers and reserves will be revealed July 6.
