Ottawa, ON – The Frontier League has announced its rosters for the upcoming 2024 Frontier League All-Star Game, in Québec City, Québec on Wednesday, July 17. The Titans will be represented by left-handed pitcher Grant Larson, right-handed pitcher Erasmo Piñales, and infielder AJ Wright at first announcement, with a chance to have more added when the final players are added by each division’s managers next week.

The teams were voted on by the league’s managers, coaches, broadcasters, general managers, and local media.

Larson, 27, heads to Québec for his second-straight all-star appearance – in which the San Diego product is working on one of the best campaigns of his four-year professional career. Larson is currently 3-2 with a 3.27 ERA through 52.1 innings over eight starts. The lefty has walked just ten opposing hitters while striking out 51.

Larson was named Pitcher of the Week for the week of June 11 to 16 – in which he made one of the best starts of his professional career – tossing the first nine-inning complete game shutout in regular season franchise history in a Titans’ 6-0 victory. Larson allowed just four hits in the win, walking two, hitting one, and striking out a career-best 13 opposing hitters. Also in that victory, Larson tossed an immaculate inning - striking out the side on nine pitches.

Piñales, 29, will make the second all-star appearance of his ten-year professional career after being elected a mid-season all-star in the Dominican Summer League in 2014 while a member of the Houston Astros organization. The closer has had a tremendous start to the 2024 season, where he is 1-1 with a 0.48 ERA while leading the league with 14 saves. Over 18.2 innings, Piñales has allowed just one earned run – while walking 11 and striking out 16. The veteran recently had a nine-inning shutout streak snapped in his save last week.

A product of La Vega, Dominican Republic – Piñales made 35 appearances in 2023 with the Titans, going 5-2 with a 1.50 ERA – allowing only six earned runs across 36 innings pitched. To go along with six saves, the righty fanned 39. In 11 outings from May 13 to July 4, Piñales allowed one run (unearned), working 10.2 frames in the process.

Wright, 27, will head to his second mid-summer classic as a member of the Titans after representing the club at the event in 2022. One of the most prolific players in the lineup so far in 2024, Wright is hitting a team-leading .324 with nine homers and 31 RBI through 45 games this season. Wright notched an on-base streak of 20 games earlier this season and has recorded 13 multi-hit performances.

He was named Player of the Week from May 21 to 26 – where he caught fire during the Titans’ opening homestand by going 12-for-25 in the six games with two doubles, three homers, and eight RBI.

Playing in all 96 contests a year ago, Wright notched 101 hits, maintaining an average of .285 with a career-high 14 homers, and 57 RBI. For the second straight season, Wright ranked atop the squad in walks, drawing 56.
