Greenville, SC – Outfielder Tyler Dearden has been named to the High-A East Postseason All-Star team, it was announced this morning by Minor League Baseball.

Dearden slashed .261/.368/.523 with 24 homers, tied for the High-A East lead, 80 RBI, first in High-A East, 20 doubles, 73 runs and 55 walks over 97 games.

He also is among High-A East leaders in walks (T-2nd), runs (3rd), OPS (4th), slugging (5th), OBP (5th), extra-base hits (6th) and total bases (7th).

The lefty was named High-A East Player of the Week for May 17-23, slashing .450/.522/1.050 with three homers, three doubles, nine hits, 21 total bases, seven runs and nine RBI over five games.

On September 9th at Hickory, Dearden belted a three-run clout to center field for his 22nd homer of the year—setting a new single-season Drive home run record.
