NEW HARTFORD — The Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League recently announced the 60 players who have been selected as Midseason All-Stars, honored for their play from the beginning of the season through June 30.

In lieu of a traditional all-star game, the league selects all-star teams at the midseason point from each of the two divisions, East and West. The all-star game was replaced by an all-star team starting in 2021, though one was not selected in 2024.

Thirty-two players were selected from the West Division, which consists of eight teams (Auburn, Batavia, Elmira, Geneva, Jamestown, Newark, Niagara and Niagara Falls). The seven-team East Division (Amsterdam, Boonville, Glens Falls, Mohawk Valley, Oneonta, Saugerties and Utica) had 28 players selected by the league for this honor.

The West-leading Batavia Muckdogs (18-9) and the Jamestown Tarp Skunks (18-11) led the way with eight selections apiece. The Amsterdam Mohawks (20-6-1), who lead the East Division, earned seven all-star selections. The Niagara Falls Americans (19-11) had six players selected out of the West, while the Boonville Lumberjacks (15-10-1) and Saugerties Stallions (17-10) each had five selections to the East Team.

Rounding out the East team were four players from Mohawk Valley, three from Utica, and two each from Glens Falls and Oneonta. The West team included four players from Newark, two apiece from Auburn and Geneva, and one each from Niagara (Canada) and Elmira.

Among the notable all-stars featured on the West team were Justin Bremner (Jamestown) and Grant Moore (Niagara Falls), who led the league with 31 hits apiece through the first half of the season. The West squad also features the two league-leaders in pitching wins, Brennan Hileman (Auburn) and Nick Ianniello (Jamestown), who are both 5-0 on the season. Hileman also had a league-high 31 innings pitched and 32 strikeouts through the end of June.

A pair of Saugerties Stallions, Jamie Zee, who had a league-high five home runs, and Justin Ford, who led the PGCBL with 22 RBIs, each made the East quad, along with Boonville’s Chase Triplett, who slugged .769 with 30 total bases. On the pitching side of the East roster, Derek Duval (Amsterdam) has posted a perfect 0.00 earned run average in 19.1 innings pitched, along with two victories and two saves.

In addition to Bremner and Ianniello, Tarp Skunks named to the all-star team include: infielders Nolan Smith and Brady McGuire, catcher Jakob Haynes, designated hitter Nathan Borchardt, outfielder Dom Costello and pitcher Christian Pencek.

Other West Division infielders named all-stars are: Batavia’s Jackson Inman and Tyler Castrataro, Niagara Falls’ Christopher Guzaldo and Greydon Miller and Geneva’s Aiken Santana.

Other West Division catchers named are Newark’s Noah Brooks and Batavia’s Cooper Fesh.

Geneva designated hitter Zach Banks was joined by outfielders Paulie Goodness and Casey Wensley of Newark, Brayden Horton and Brian Fry of Batavia, Alex Kean of Niagara and TJ Gramesty of Elmira.

In addition to Hileman and Ianniello, pitchers named all-stars in the West Division are Niagara Falls’ Keegan Bazinet, Luke Blandino and Hudson Boring, Auburn’s Owen Birchard, Batavia’s Luc Rising, Jaden Sherwood and Gavin Chandler, and Newark’s Brady King.
