Rosters have been announced for the 2019 Valley Baseball League All-Star Game, which will feature the 25 best players from the North and South Divisions this season.

The 2019 Valley League All-Star Game will be held on Sunday, July 7 at James Madison University’s Veterans Memorial Park.

The Valley League will also be taking a traveling all-star team made up of some of the league’s top-rated prospects to the Southern Collegiate Showcase at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina, on July 15-16. That roster will be announced later this week.

The North squad is comprised of players from Front Royal, New Market, Purcellville, Strasburg, Winchester and Woodstock. The South squad consists of athletes from Charlottesville, Covington, Harrisonburg, Staunton and Waynesboro. Each squad initially included nine pitchers and sixteen position players.

The North team will be managed by Strasburg’s Brock Moss and the South by Waynesboro’s Zac Cole. Managers of the rosters were determined by the highest teams in the standings at the conclusion of games through Friday, June 28.

Batting practice and autograph/photo sessions for young fans will take place from 3:10-4:45 p.m. The 60 yard dash contest will be held at 4:50 p.m. and the Home Run Derby is at 5:20 p.m. Player introductions will be at 7:15 p.m. with first pitch set for 7:30 p.m.

The evening will also feature the fourth class of the Valley Baseball League Hall of Fame, which will be introduced at 7:00 p.m. This year’s inductees were announced in April.
