Travis, the team is chosen by the scouting and farm directors of every major league club, in conjunction with AFL personnel. The players are generally picked based on a mix of performance and prospect status, although part of it is based on who the major league club will let play in the game, particularly with regards to pitchers.

Josh Zeid, pitcher for the eastern division, actually plays for the Phillies.

Congrats to all those selected!

Just so you are aware, Josh Zeid plays for the Phillies, not the Nationals. Both he and De Fratus are the two Phillies guys to make the AFL Rising All Star Team.

Is this based on prospect status or performance? The league leader in ERA and WHIP didnt make the team. How is this team chosen?
