Festivities Beginning Tonight In Bellingham – Roster Updates

The stage is now set for the West Coast League’s 2024 All-Star Game, with festivities beginning tonight in Bellingham, followed Wednesday evening by the League’s first All-Star Game since 2019.
Thrilling news was announced last week, as the All-Star Game will be broadcast live on MLB Network, MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB App beginning at 6:30 PM Pacific Time. The broadcast will feature renowned on-air talent, with Tyler Maun handling play-by-play duties, along with analysts Ryan Rowland-Smith and MLB Pipeline’s Sam Dykstra.
Probable starting pitchers have been set by head coaches Brooke Knight (South) and Bob Ralston (North). Corvallis Knights right-hander Kaden Segel (U. of Portland) gets the nod for the South, while the North will counter with reigning WCL Pitcher of the Week Tyler Van Dyke (Stetson).
Tuesday night, the West Coast League’s celebration of amateur and grass-roots baseball will feature players from the Max Higbee Center alongside WCL All-Stars in the Community Champions Game, an integrated baseball game. The Max Higbee Center supports and empowers teens and adults with developmental disabilities to build community, friendships, happiness, life skills, and health through recreation. Half of ticket sales from the evening will go directly to the Max Higbee Center.
Updated rosters for Wednesday night’s WCL All-Star Game, including players tabbed as replacements for original selections no longer available, may be found below. Prior to the game, All-Stars will participate in an invitation-only workout for scouts and amateur coaches, as the West Coast League continues its mission to create tremendous environments for ambitious young baseball players from around the world.
