HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point Rockers outfielder Zander Wiel on Thursday was named to the Atlantic League All-Star team.

Wiel hit .260  this season while setting Rockers records for home runs and RBI in a season. The former Vanderbilt Commodore was second in the Atlantic League with 32 home runs and tied for third in the league with 98 RBI.

Wiel was joined in the All-Star outfield by Lexington’s Courtney Hawkins and Long Island’s Alejandro De Aza.

Wiel was a postseason All-Star in the Class AA Southern League while playing with the Chattanooga Lookouts. He was also a three-time MiLB.com Organization All-Star with the Minnesota Twins.
