Minor League Baseball™ (MiLB) announced today the league awards and All-Star teams for both Triple-A leagues, the International League and the Pacific Coast League. Gwinnett Stripers right-hander Bryce Elder was selected to the 2024 International League All-Star Team as one of four Starting Pitchers.
The 25-year-old Elder went 10-6 with a 3.73 ERA in 17 starts during his fourth season with the Stripers, ranking tied for fifth in the IL in wins. He also posted a 1.30 WHIP and .239 BAA while tallying a team-best 11 quality starts. Elder is the seventh pitcher to record 10-plus wins in season in Gwinnett history (first since Kyle Wright went 10-5 in 2021), and his 10 wins are tied for fourth-most by a Gwinnett pitcher all-time.
Elder’s award-winning 2024 campaign included a three-start winning streak from June 1-14 (0.82 ERA, 2 ER in 22.0 IP, 0.73 WHIP, .154 BAA) and a team-best four-start winning streak from July 13-August 25 (2.30 ERA, 7 ER in 27.1 IP, 1.06 WHIP, .245 BAA). From July 13 until the end of the season, he ranked among qualifying IL pitchers in GO/AO ratio (1st, 1.76), wins (T-6th, 5), and ERA (7th, 3.08).
Elder is the 14th player in Gwinnett history to be selected to a season-ending International League All-Star Team, the fourth to be named as a Starting Pitcher.
