The Frederick Keys, Class-A Affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, will send a Carolina League high six players to the 2009 Carolina/California League All Star Game in Lake Elsinore, CA Tuesday, June 23rd. The total equals a franchise high with the 1998 season when the Keys had six all-star participants.
LHP Zach Britton, SS Pedro Florimon, C Caleb Joseph, RHP Luis Lebron, LHP Brian Matusz and 1B Brandon Waring will all represent the Carolina League at The Diamond, home of the Advanced Class-A affiliate for the San Diego Padres, the Lake Elsinore Storm.
Joseph has made the leap from Short-Season-A ball in Aberdeen to Frederick with ease as he leads the Carolina League in batting (.340) upon selection to the All-Star Game. A .261 hitter with Aberdeen in his first professional season, Joseph has batted above .300 in each month this season. He is hitting .367 in front of the home faithful at Harry Grove Stadium.
