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.”
