July 11, 2022 - Frontier League (FL)
Florence Y'alls News Release
FLORENCE, KY - The Florence Y'alls will be well-represented at next week's Frontier League All-Star Game as Anthony Brocato, Alberti Chavez, and Brennan Price have been named to the midsummer classic. It is the first selection for each player.
Price, the lone All-Star starter among the Y'alls' three selections, has some of the best power in the Frontier League and has used it to hit 10 home runs so far this season. He's hitting .307 with 42 RBI, six doubles, and a triple. The runs batted in are tied for eighth-most in the Frontier League. Price and Washington's Andrew Czech are the West Division's only two regular first basemen hitting .300 or better.
Brocato has been a staple in the Y'alls outfield this season, playing both center and right field. Through Sunday's action, Brocato is hitting .291 with 14 home runs and 41 RBI. He has added seven doubles and two stolen bases. The 14 home runs lead the Y'alls and are good for a tie for fourth-most in the Frontier League. That total is also the most among all West Division outfielders.
Chavez has been one of the best shortstops in the league all season long, hitting .332 with four home runs and 28 runs batted in. The Venezuelan has 16 doubles, one triple, seven steals, and only two errors defensively. The batting average is tied for twelfth-best in the Frontier League and is second-best among West Division shortstops. Chavez's doubles total is tied for third-most in the entire league.
All three players are in their first season with Florence. Brocato spent two seasons playing for the Southern Illinois Miners and is only three home runs away from tying his total from last season. Chavez spent seven season in the Cincinnati Reds minor league system, including reaching Triple-A Louisville for 32 games. Price was with the Y'alls during spring training last year before sustaining a season-ending injury.
