Lead Story

Former Florida State catcher Buster Posey is set to catch the first pitch at the 2017 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Miami on July 11.

Posey, a member of the San Francisco Giants, was named an All-Star Game starter when the rosters were unveiled Sunday evening. It will be Posey’s fifth All-Star appearance and fourth start in eight big league seasons. Posey’s .339 batting average this season leads all of baseball to go with 10 home runs and 35 RBIs.

Posey was an All-American during his time at Florida State and was the winner of the Golden Spikes Award as the nation’s top player in 2008. Originally an infielder, Posey later moved to catcher and also served as the team’s closer. Posey famously once played all nine positions in a contest against Savannah State.
