HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point Rockers outfielder Zander Wiel on Thursday was named to the Atlantic League All-Star team.
Wiel hit .260 this season while setting Rockers records for home runs and RBI in a season. The former Vanderbilt Commodore was second in the Atlantic League with 32 home runs and tied for third in the league with 98 RBI.
