Oscar Marin Named All-Star Coach

Hickory, NC - Eric Krupa, President of the South Atlantic League, has announced the selection of the 2015 Annual All-Star Team, with Hickory Crawdads pitching coach Oscar Marin selected as the best Coach in the SAL.

Marin, 32, has been at the helm of one of the best pitching staffs in franchise history this year, which led the way to the 'Dads winning the first half Northern Division Championship. Crawdads pitchers currently rank 2^nd in the SAL in ERA (3.16), while also placing 1^st in WHIP (1.21), 2^nd in hits allowed (1,052), 2^nd in earned runs (407), and 4^th in strikeouts (1,036).

The All-Star Team was voted on by the 14 SAL team's Field Managers, General Managers, Sports Writers and Broadcasters, for a total of 56 votes. Unlike the midseason All-Star team, both the Northern and Southern Divisions are combined on to one list for the Annual All-Star Team.
