For the first time in CPBL history the 2017 All-Star game is going to East Taiwan! The 2 days CPBL All-Star events will be held in the newly renovated 花蓮縣立棒球場 (Hualien Baseball Stadium) on 8th ~ 9th of July.
The War Between Two Generations
Different from previous years, this year the all star team will be divided into two groups according to their age. Red team will be players under the age of 24 or those within three years of service in CPBL.
