ASHWAUBENON – On July 9, the Northwoods League announced Max Wagner, a Green Bay Preble High School graduate and the current Green Bay Booyah third baseman, was named to the 2021 all-star team.
He will head to Mankato to represent the Booyah July 20.
So far this season, Wagner, a freshman out of Clemson, is batting .298 with 4 home runs and 14 runs batted in.
In the 26 games, he’s also connected for five doubles and one triple.
He has an on-base percentage of .473, a slugging percentage of .524 and an OPS of .997.
Wagner has also drawn a team-leading 26 walks this season.
“I’m out here playing ball,” Wagner said during a recent Booyah practice. “I didn’t set out to make the all-star team this summer, I’m simply having fun playing ball with the guys on a good team. It’s an honor to be selected.”
Wagner said he’s feeling good this summer.
“The biggest thing with me is consistency,” he said. “It’s gotten lots better.”
