Two members of the team were unanimous selections, outfielder Ben Aklinski of the High Point Rockers and starting pitcher Noah Skirrow of the Lancaster Stormers.
Three players earned their second berth on the Postseason All-Star team including Aklinski who was an outfielder on the 2023 team. Justin Wylie of the Gastonia Ghost Peppers is the lone repeat member from 2024. And second baseman Joseph Rosa, named to the Postseason All-Star team in 2022 as a second baseman with Gastonia, earned the honor in 2025 while playing shortstop for Charleston.
The infield includes catcher Matt Scheffler of the Staten Island FerryHawks, first baseman Mason Martin of Lancaster, second baseman Jalen Miller of York and third baseman James Nelson of Charleston. Brady Whalen of the Lexington Legends was named the designated hitter.
Joining Aklinski in the outfield is his High Point Rockers teammate Luis Gonzalez along with Gastonia's Wylie.

Nelson was the only player in the ALPB this year to finish in the top seven in batting average (.315), home runs (34) and RBI (89). He led the Dirty Birds in all three categories and was second in the league in home runs. Nelson in 2025 became the only Atlantic League player to ever accumulate 30+ homers and 50+ stolen bases in a single season.
Whalen was an outstanding utility player who filled in at multiple positions, drawing assignments at every spot except catcher. He was third in the league in batting average at .331 and a member of the 20-20 club with 26 homers and 31 stolen bases.
