Northwest Arkansas sending 11 to Texas League All-Star Game

Nearly half of the North Division roster for the Texas League All-Star Game will be made up of Royals prospects, as Northwest Arkansas had 11 players selected to participate.

Seven members of the Naturals — second baseman Erick Mejia, shortstop Nicky Lopez, infielder/outfielder Jecksson Flores, outfielder Elier Hernandez, left-hander Foster Griffin and right-hander Jake Newberry were voted on to the initial roster.

Right-handers Scott Blewett, Walker Sheller and Zach Lovvorn and left-hander Emilio Ogando were named as replacements for players unable to participate.
