All-Star Futures Game

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The All-Star Futures Game was conceived by Jimmie Lee Solomon, an Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations for Major League Baseball, looking for an event to showcase the minor leagues and round out the All-Star week festivities.

The format pits a team of top minor-league prospects from the United States against a team of counterparts hailing from outside the U.S. Early versions of the game created marginal interest in the baseball community, but the event has drawn more interest each year.

Rosters for the Futures Game are selected by Baseball America magazine, in conjunction with MLB and the 30 clubs. Every organization is represented, with no more than two players from any organization, and 25 players per team, divided into U.S. and World teams based on place of birth. Game lasts seven innings, with two extra innings available to settle a tie after playing seven innings. Pitchers are limited to one inning.
