Chattanooga’s solid start to the 2019 Southern League season was reflected Friday afternoon in the Lookouts’ solid representation for the league’s all-star game in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Five Lookouts – first baseman Ibandel Isabel, shortstop Alfredo Rodriguez, outfielder Taylor Trammell, starting pitcher Tejay Antone and reliever Joel Kuhnel – were picked to suit up for the North Division in the Class AA showcase, which will be held June 18. Montgomery paced all North Division teams with seven selections, while Jackson had six.

Montgomery entered Friday night’s action leading the North with a 35-23 record, with Jackson 34-26 and Chattanooga 32-26 next in line.

“They got it right with those five, but I would love to have another guy or two on there,” Lookouts manager Pat Kelly said. “Those five guys are all having outstanding years, and they are well-deserving.

“I would like Tyler Stephenson to be on there. I think Tyler Stephenson is the best catcher in our division.”
