Zane Probst part of Appalachian League All-Star game

PULASKI, VA – Central Mountain High School graduate Zane Probst pitched one inning Tuesday night in the Appalachian League All-Star game at Calfee Park in Pulaski, VA.

Probst, a member of the Princeton (WV) WhistlePigs, was accorded the all-star selection based on his performance with the Princeton team this season. He struck out three in his inning of work but also gave up a 2-strike homerun.

Probst was one of two Princeton pitchers selected for the all-star game. He has appeared in 13 games with the WhistlePigs, pitching 17 innings with 28 strikeouts and 4 walks and holding opposing batters to a .210 batting average. He leads Princeton with four saves.

The all-star game will be aired on Saturday, July 31 on the MLB Network.

Probst, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher, is spending the summer with Princeton, a member of the Appalachian League, a Major League baseball developmental league for promising college players. He had a solid spring out of the bullpen with Seton Hall, a Division I program.
