MLB All-Star Team Featured Monmouth University Alum

Five Baltimore Orioles were on this year's American League All-Star team, including setup man Brad Brach, who graduated from Monmouth University.

According to Monmouth University's sports information department, Brach is the first former Hawk to be selected to the MLB All-Star Game.

Brach is currently 6-1 with a 0.91 ERA, and has 58 strikeouts in 49.1 innings.

Brach grew up in Freehold Township and was drafted by the San Diego Padres, so the trip to PetCo Park was something of a homecoming. He was traded to the Orioles during the 2013 offseason.
