The 2013 All Star Game will be played in Lexington, KY, as part of Nationals 2013. Each team gets four All Star players, and there are two captains on each team that will draft the players evenly. One team is the Brave Little Toasters, captained by Dan Shackelford (Kent #33-C) and Felix Perrone (WKU #76-A), the other team is the Monstars, captained by Zigmas Maloni (DePaul #68-A) and MSU’s own Sam Hiller (MSU #87-C). The four All Stars selected by their teammates for Michigan State are Alex Acton, Eric Paul, Kevin Miller, and Mike Van Ermen.

Alex Acton (MSU #72) is a three time All Star now, being one of the few players selected in every All Star Game. As a senior, he will likely be playing in his final Nationals, and he has shined in previous years. He has a deadly cross, is pinpoint accurate, and is a great catcher.

Eric Paul (MSU #9) is also a three time All Star, and is also a senior playing in his last Nationals. He has carried the Spartans at times with his power arm, great catching, and clutch play. As one of the top players in the league, Paul will shine as always in the ASG.

Kevin Miller (MSU #46-A) is a second time All Star, playing in the 2011 game as well. He’s grown from a catcher to a dangerous player in every facet of the game. He too is a senior, and is one of the captains for the Spartans.

Mike Van Ermen (MSU #6) is making his first appearance in an All Star game, but his play has been phenomenal all season. He’s one of the more dedicated players on the team, and has a great throw to go along with good catching and leadership. He is a junior, so watch for him to help lead the team next season.
