A Fresh Face in the All‑Star Lineup
Ethan Porter, a sophomore at Oregon State, has been selected to fill a spot on the 2026 WCL All‑Star Game roster, stepping in for Max Medina. The move comes as the league’s coaching staff recognized Porter’s standout numbers and his impact on the Corvallis Knights.
Porter currently tops the Knights’ batting leaderboard with a .338 average, nine doubles and 19 RBIs. His on‑base skill is equally impressive, posting a .915 OPS, 11 walks and just 16 strikeouts in 37 appearances. The sophomore was also honored as the WCL Player of the Week for the June 29‑July 5 period after helping the Knights sweep the Springfield Drifters in a three‑game series.
From College to the Knights
The Oregon native’s rise began early in the summer, making his Knights debut on June 15 and earning a regular spot in the lineup. At Oregon State, Porter compiled a .293 average with eight doubles and two home runs, while drawing 17 walks for a .480 on‑base percentage during his freshman season.
Game Details and Broadcast
The All‑Star Game is scheduled for July 15 in Victoria, British Columbia, and will be broadcast live on MLB.com, MLB.tv and the MLB app, giving fans across the country a chance to see the next wave of talent in action. Porter’s selection underscores the growing pipeline of talent that moves from college programs to the West Coast League, and his performance suggests he could be a key contributor for Oregon State in the upcoming collegiate season.
