The game annually pits the best players from the Pacific Coast League against the best from the Triple-A International League. Next year the game will be in Portland.

Myrow is batting .329 with 10 home runs, 20 doubles and a triple.

He leads the PCL in on-base percentage and walks, and ranks seventh in batting average.

Myrow's selection marks the second time a Portland first baseman has made the PCL All-Star team since the team returned to the Triple-A eight years ago. Last season, pitcher Jack Cassel represented the Beavers.
