Notable pitchers include Fort Wayne's Adys Portillo, San Diego's No. 16 prospect, 2011 first-round pick Archie Bradley, the D-backs' No. 2 prospect, and Noah Syndergaard, Toronto's top-ranked pitcher, all on the Eastern squad.
Kane County, which will host the game on June 19 at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark, will send it's field staff to the home team's dugout as manager Brian Buchanan leads the Western Division squad. Lansing's John Tamargo Jr. was selected as the Eastern Division's field manager.
