The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League is proud to announce the rosters for the 2015 PGCBL All-Star Game.

The 2015 PGCBL All-Star Game is scheduled to take place on Monday, July 20, 2015, at Veterans Memorial Park in Little Falls, New York. The game will feature all-stars from the PGCBL East taking on the all-stars of the PGCBL West and is sponsored by Price Chopper

Keith Griffin, the 2012 PGCBL Coach of the Year, and current head coach of the Amsterdam Mohawks will lead the PGCBL East All-Stars. Chris Haynes, the head coach of the Newark Pilots, will guide the PGCBL West All-Stars.

“More than two dozen of the All Stars in our two previous games have been drafted by MLB or are now playing professionally, “ said PGCBL President Jeff Kunion. “The All-Star Game program gives our fans an opportunity to watch our top players go through their workouts for pro scouts. The game, the HR Derby and the scout day activities makes this a special event for all in attendance.”
