Congratulations to Brandon Howard and Jackson Millard on being selected to the 2014 MVABL All-Star team!

Howard, the team’s perennial clean-up hitter, makes his second consecutive All-Star appearance. In addition to being the primary “thump” in the Redlegs lineup, Howard also plays an excellent second base. In 21 games this year he has only 3 errors and boasts an impressive .971 fielding percentage. Brandon was named the automatic starter for the Redlegs meaning he will be guaranteed a spot in the Buckeye Division’s lineup come August 9th at Wright State University.

Jackson Millard will also be making his first career appearance in the Midsummer Classic. Jackson joined the Redlegs in 2012 and his offensive numbers have been going up ever since. Thus far in 2014, Millard is batting a team high .439 and is currently leading the club in homeruns, runs batted in, on base percentage, and slugging percentage. Primarily a catcher, Jackson has also pitched in around the infield in multiple positions including short stop, second base, and third base.
