Three Volcanoes players have been named as starters in the prestigious game next Tuesday, August 6th, at Memorial Stadium in Boise. They are:
Catcher Ricardo Genoves - The San Francisco Giants signed Genoves in 2015 out of Venezuela. Genoves is currently ranked as the 24th best prospect within the Giants organization per Baseball America, and third in the Northwest League in RBI with 29.
Third Base Sean Roby - Roby was drafted in the 12th round of the 2018 MLB Draft by the San Francisco Giants out of Arizona Western Junior College. He currently leads the Northwest League in on-base percentage with a .425 mark and is tied for third in RBI with 29 alongside fellow All-Star and Volcanoes teammate Ricardo Genoves.
Outfielder Franklin Labour - The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes outfielder has muscled out 14 home runs this season which leads the Northwest League. Labour was signed by the San Francisco Giants back in 2015 from the Dominican Republic and is ranked the 19th best prospect by Baseball America in the Giants pipeline. Franklin was also selected to compete in the Home Run Derby contest.
Named as a Reserve Pitcher is:
Kervin Castro - Castro was signed by the San Francisco Giants from Maracay, Venezuela, back in 2015 when he was 16 years old. In his nine starts for Salem-Keizer this year, he has gathered a 2.68 ERA, good for third-best in the Northwest League.
