Altoona Sending Five Players to Eastern League All-Star Game

The Eastern League announced the rosters for their July 15th All-Star game on Tuesday and five players from the Altoona Curve are on the Western squad. The Curve will be represented by pitcher Jason Creasy, first baseman Josh Bell, infielder Dan Gamache, INF/OF Adam Frazier and second baseman Max Moroff.

Moroff(pictured above) has been the biggest surprise in the minors for the Pirates this year, although Frazier is quickly gaining on him. Moroff is second in the EL in batting average with a .323 mark, just one point behind the leader. He also ranks ninth in OPS, first in runs, first in hits, third in OBP, third in walks, fourth in total bases and tied for seventh in doubles.
