Burlington, IA- The Burlington Bees have started off the second half of the regular season on a two-game win streak after finishing the first half on a bit of a sour note in terms of the standings. However, the Bees tout five All-Stars on their team after a stellar start to the year.
Kooper Schulte, who busted onto the scene after earning Prospect League Hitter of the Week to open the season after hitting for the cycle and totaling five RBIs in their first game of the year, grabbed a spot on the All-Star team.
The former New London Tiger has been showing off his power at the plate with 13 extra-base hits, which ranks second in the league, tied for the league lead in triples, and his 24 RBIs puts him in the top 10 for the league. Schulte will also participate in the Homerun Derby.
Caleb Siebers, from Carmi, Illinois, has continued his momentum from his freshman season at Olney Central College as he currently sits with a slash line of 0.316/0.396/0.519. Seibers has brought home 15 runs, while scoring 15 runs himself, and he’s clocked four homers.
Another Bee from Southern Illinois that has earned a spot on the All-Star team is Mason Schwalbach. The Saluki has collected 15 RBIs thanks to his 0.383 batting average, including six extra-base hits.
Two guys on the mound that claimed a spot on the All-Star team are Braeden Sunken and Kaelen Clarkson.
Sunken has recorded five saves, which ranks second in the league, in 11 appearances, posting a 2-1 record with 3.14 ERA. Clarkson, a lefty, has thrown 12 strikeouts in 15 innings strewn across four starts. His ERA currently sits at 3.00.
The 2025 Prospect League All-Star game will be held in Springfield on Tuesday, July 8th, at 6:30 pm at Robin Roberts Stadium with the Eastern and Western Conferences facing off against one another.
