Washington’s McEachern added to FL all-star game
Wild Things second baseman Carter McEachern was one of seven players added Wednesday to the Frontier All-Star Game that will be played Wednesday at CarShield Field in O’Fallon, Mo.
McEachern was added to the Rookie squad.
The league has switched from its East Division vs. West Division format for the all-star game and will use a Rookie vs. Experienced format. Rookies and Experienced are the Frontier League’s two roster classifications for players.
Washington will have five players on the Experienced team – catcher Kyle Pollock, outfielder Roman Collins and James Harris, and pitchers Thomas Dorminy and Zach Strecker.
McEachern, a native of Thunder Bay, Ontario, is Washington’s lone player on the Rookie team. It is the third time in Wild Things history that the team has had six players in the all-star game.
McEachern is in his first season with Washington after being acquired in the offseason in a trade with the Three Rivers Eagles of the Can-Am League. McEachern entered Wednesday with a .268 batting average and leads all active Frontier League second basemen with 23 RBI.
