GRAND CHUTE, WI - The Midwest League has announced Wisconsin Timber Rattlers slugger Clint Coulter as the designated hitter for the league's 2014 Postseason All-Star team. The team was selected in a vote of the managers of the sixteen teams in the league.

Coulter got off to a hot start when he was named the league's first batter of the week in 2014. Coulter was also picked as the starting DH for the Western Division for the 2014 Midwest League All-Star Game. He has continued his hot start through the rest of the season.

The catcher, who was taken in the first round of the 2012 draft by the Milwaukee Brewers with the 27th overall pick, is hitting .282 with 20 home runs and 83 RBI in 119 games played this season. He is second in the Midwest League in homers and RBI. Coulter has walked 70 times and been hit by pitches nineteen times to give him a MWL-best on base percentage of .407.

Coulter also has 50 extra base hits (27 doubles, three triples, and 20 home runs) for a slugging percentage of .512. He is second in the league in slugging percentage.
