Max Fried of the New York Yankees and Pete Crow-Armstrong of the Chicago Cubs will represent Harvard-Westlake at the MLB All-Star Game in Atlanta on July 15. Their former coaches, Matt LaCour and Jared Halpert, express pride in the school's success in producing major league talent. LaCour serves as athletic director and previously coached Fried. Crow-Armstrong, a first-round draft pick in 2020, has been highlighted as a rising star for the Cubs. Both coaches plan to support their players at the game, showcasing school camaraderie.
"We're all proud on campus," said LaCour, now the school's athletic director and former coach of Fried.
"It's kind of everyone wins if Max faces Pete," Halpert said.
"That definitely would be cool," LaCour said. "I'll root for Max and Jared will root for Pete."
LaCour is in Atlanta this week coaching a youth team and will stay an extra two days to watch the All-Star Game.
