Welty, 22, was the Orioles Player of the Month for April hitting six home runs while driving home 21 runs. The 21 RBI's was the most by a player in the Orioles organization. Baltimore's 20th round pick in the 2008 draft out of Chandler-Gilbert CC, Welty leads the Keys with nine home runs which is tied for fifth in the Carolina League.
The Carolina/California League All-Star Game has been played since 1996.
