Dowdell, Reed Selected to MLB Draft League Prospect Game

Two Mountaineers were selected to the MLB Draft League Prospect Game.

At the midpoint of the MLB Draft League season, two WVU Baseball players were selected to play in the league's Prospect Game. This game is the equivalent to Major League Baseball's All-Star Game, where the best in the game congregate to show off their skills.

Pitchers Kevin Dowdell and Carlson Reed are among 50 players selected for the game, and two of the West Virginia Black Bears' five representatives.
