The Coastal Plain League announced Saturday the rosters for the 2022 All-Star Game, scheduled to be held July 10 at Dick Sears Field at Ting Stadium in Holly Springs, North Carolina.

This marks the 22nd year the CPL has played an All-Star Game and the first since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The action will get underway at 5:40 p.m. Eastern.

The players were voted upon within their divisions by CPL head coaches, broadcasters and local media representatives from each market. Since the game is being played in the Holly Springs Salamanders’ home ballpark, the East CPL All-Stars will be the home team, while the West CPL All-Stars will serve as the visitors.

Earning the start on the mound for the West CPL All-Stars will be Dalton Pence of Forest City. He earned the most votes of any West Division pitcher and therefore will pitch the first inning of the game. 

The 6-2, 205-pound lefty from North Carolina has been dominant for the Owls, featuring a league-best 0.37 ERA, to go with a 3-0 record. In 24 2/3 innings of work, Pence has given up just two runs – one earned – on 12 hits, while walking four and striking out 18. Further, he features a 0.65 WHIP, a .140 BAA and a K/9 of 6.568.

Toeing the rubber first for the East CPL All-Stars will also be Morehead City ace Tyler Wehrle. 

The 6-3, 225-pound righthander from Tiffin was the top vote getter in his division and sports a 1.95 ERA with a 2-0 record. In six starts for the Marlins, Wehrle has surrendered 12 runs – six earned – on 16 hits, to go with just four walks and a league-best 38 strikeouts. Opposing batters have been held to a .160 average, while his WHIP sits at 0.72 and K/9 at 12.361.
