Ex-Okotoks Dawg Tristan Peters named to MLB All-Star Game
Chicago White Sox outfielder Tristan Peters has been selected for the MLB All-Star Game, continuing a pipeline of talent from the southern Alberta summer league.
Why it matters
The All-Star nod highlights the success of a local Alberta baseball program in developing players who reach the major leagues.
Tristan Peters, an alumnus of the Okotoks Dawgs, has earned a spot on the roster for Major League Baseball's All-Star Game. The Chicago White Sox outfielder becomes only the second player from the Dawgs organization to receive the midsummer classic honour.
The Okotoks Dawgs are a junior baseball team based in Okotoks, a town south of Calgary, and have developed a reputation for producing players who go on to compete at higher levels, including U.S. college programs and professional leagues.
Peters' selection adds to the list of former Dawgs who have advanced to Major League Baseball, reinforcing the program's track record of developing talent that reaches the sport's highest stage.
