Dodgers News: Alex Verdugo, Willie Calhoun to Start Triple-A ASG

It should come as no surprise that the Dodgers top two position player prospects are going to be starting in the Triple-A All-Star Game this season.

Overall, the Oklahoma City Dodgers will have four players representing their team in the All-Star Game. Alongside Calhoun and Verdugo are pitchers Madison Younginer and Wilmer Font.



The All-Star Game will be taking place on July 12 in Tacoma.

Calhoun and Verdugo have consistently put up unreal numbers in 2017.
