Today the Double-A Southern League and Single-A Midwest League have released their All-Star selections. The Pensacola Blue Wahoos and Dayton Dragons both will be represented quite well in the two All-Star games.

Pensacola will be hosting the Southern League All-Star game on June 20th. The Blue Wahoos will be represented by pitchers Jimmy Herget, Ariel Hernandez, Deck McGuire and Tyler Mahle, as well as outfielder Gabby Guerrero and infielder Josh VanMeter. Here’s a quick rundown on how these guys have performed this season.

Player ERA IP H BB K SV Jimmy Herget 1.59 28.1 18 11 41 15 Ariel Hernandez 2.48 29.0 17 17 37 1 Deck McGuire 3.25 63.2 50 25 67 0 Tyler Mahle 1.66 76.0 48 16 75 0

Tyler Mahle would seem to be a lock to start the game for his squad, assuming he’s eligible to throw based on when he last pitched. It could be one last hurrah, so-to-speak, for the right hander in Pensacola. He has seemingly done everything he can at the Double-A level and should be in line for a promotion very soon. Pitching in the All-Star game at home would make a nice parting gift before sending him up to Triple-A to join the Louisville Bats.

The Dayton Dragons did Pensacola one better as they had seven players named to the Midwest League All-Star team. Catcher Tyler Stephenson and outfielders T.J. Friedl and Michael Beltre (as DH) were named to the starting lineup. Four pitchers will also be joining them on the team. Starting pitchers Scott Moss, Wennington Romero and Tony Santillan made the team. Reliever Aaron Fossas will be a representative from the bullpen. Here’s a quick rundown on how the Dragons have performed this season.

Surpringly missing from the team is Taylor Trammell, who is hitting .271/.364/.453 with 15 stolen bases this season. Voting, however, starts very early for the teams and he got out to a rough start in April. There’s always a chance he could be added between now and June 20th when the game takes place in Midland, Michigan (Great Lakes Loons).
