Former South Carolina outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr.'s magical season continued Tuesday when word broke that he would start in the 2016 MLB All-Star Game, July 12 at Petco Park in San Diego.
Bradley, who will reportedly start the game in right field, has been one of the best stories of the first half of the MLB season. The Red Sox outfielder is hitting .294 with 20 doubles, six triples, 13 home runs and 53 RBIs.
The former South Carolina standout held a 29-game hit streak earlier this season, his fourth, and best, year in the league.
Bradley helped lead South Carolina to two straight national titles in 2010 and 2011, earning Most Outstanding Player at the 2010 CWS.
