PEARL, Miss. (July 3, 2025) — The Mississippi Mud Monsters are proud to announce that three players have been selected to the 2025 Frontier League All-Star Game, set for Wednesday, July 16 at Joseph L. Bruno Stadium in Troy, New York.

Catcher Victor Diaz, second baseman Travis Holt, and pitcher Brian Williams will represent Mississippi as part of the Frontier League’s annual Midsummer Classic, hosted this year by the Tri-City ValleyCats.

Diaz, named as a reserve catcher, has been a steady presence both behind the plate and at it—hitting .287 with 17 RBIs and 22 walks while controlling the run game and calling a smart game for the Monsters’ pitching staff.

Holt, selected as a reserve infielder, leads the Mud Monsters in home runs (7) and runs scored (33), while batting .286 with 10 stolen bases and highlight-reel defense at second base.

Williams, one of the Frontier League’s most dominant arms this season, currently holds a 2.22 ERA with 56 strikeouts in 56.2 innings pitched. His five wins are tied for the league lead, and his name sits comfortably near the top of the ERA leaderboard as well.

“We knew Brian was electric coming into this season, and Diaz and Holt have been absolute dogs for us on both sides of the ball,” said Mud Monsters manager Jay Pecci. “Getting to see them on the big stage in a game like this—it’s going to be fun for them and for our whole locker room. They’ve earned it.”

The 2025 Frontier League All-Star festivities run July 14–17 in New York’s Capital Region and include a Home Run Derby, fan events, and the 32nd playing of the league’s premier showcase game at “The Joe.”

“We’re building something special down here in the swamp,” said Andrew Seymour, General Manager of the Mud Monsters. “To have three of our guys recognized as All-Stars in our first year is a huge honor. It speaks to the culture, the effort, and the belief that’s already growing here.”
