Bradenton, Fla. - The Bradenton Marauders are proud to announce a franchise record nine players have been selected to the 2017 Florida State League All-Star Team. Five pitchers and four position players were elected to represent the South Division. The South Division All-Stars will be managed by Bradenton Manager Gera Alvarez and coached by the Marauders' coaching staff because the franchise won the 2016 Florida State League championship. The game will be played in Lakeland at newly renovated Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium on Saturday, June 17.
