The Chinese Professional Baseball League All-Star Game fan vote has seen a dramatic shift, with the CTBC Brothers completely dominating the polls. Previously, the Fubon Guardians had a strong showing, but the "yellow tide" of Brothers fans has now submerged their rivals.
Brothers players are leading in every single position. This includes starting pitcher Luo-Ko, relief pitcher Lu Yen-ching, closer Lee Chen-chang, catcher Kao Yu-chieh, designated hitter Chen Chun-hsiu, first baseman Hsu Chi-hung, second baseman Yueh Tung-hua, third baseman Wang Wei-chen, and shortstop Chiang Kun-yu. The outfield also features Brothers players, with Song Sheng-rui and Chang Chih-hao leading, alongside Chen Chieh-hsien of the Uni-Lions.
Even players who previously held significant leads, such as Tseng Chun-yueh and Chang Yu-cheng in the relief pitcher and designated hitter categories respectively, have been overtaken by Brothers players Lee Chen-chang and Chen Chun-hsiu. The only non-Brothers player currently in a leading position is Chen Chieh-hsien of the Uni-Lions, who has garnered 259,000 votes for an outfield spot.
