Torrance, Calif.- The Miwaukee Brewers announced today their "Blue" roster for the 2008 Area Code Baseball Games this August.
The Brewers Blue Area Code Team roster has a star studded field of high school talent that is primarily assembled from Southern California region.
Cameron Garfield (Murrietta Valley), a strong defensive catcher, Kristopher Hobson (Stockdale) and outfielders Matt Moyinham (Cathedral Catholic) and Jake Marisnick (Riverside Poly) head up a strong group of position players.
The pitching staff features some of the top talent in all the country. Tyler Matzek (Capistrano Valley), Scott Griggs (San Ramon Valley), Matt Hobgood (Norco) and Garret Hughes (La Costa Canyon) are all dominating in their own respects.
Other notable players are Tony Renda (Serra), John Altobelli (Woodbridge) and rising underclassman Christian Lopes (Valencia), a 2011 player and perhaps one of the best overall players at his peer group in the nation.
More pitchers of interest is sophomore Adam Plutko (Glendora) and Bryan Berglund (Royal) should make a splash at the Area Code Games.
