Futures Game Scouting Reports on THE BOARD
Major League Baseball announced the rosters for its Futures Game last week, the annual “prospect All-Star Game” which takes place the Sunday before the All-Star Game itself. We’ve made a page on THE BOARD specifically for the Futures Game representatives. It has tool grades, scouting reports, video, and other stuff with which you can play around.
There may be some discrepancies between the player evaluations on this page and those that appear elsewhere on THE BOARD. The grades on the Futures Game section of THE BOARD represent our most current evaluations of these players. The evaluations on the team lists, meanwhile, will be updated altogether shortly in the future. Kiley and I will be in Washington D.C. a week from now to see these guys in person. The Futures Game is Sunday, July 15 in Washington D.C.
Eric Longenhagen is from Catasauqua, PA and currently lives in Tempe, AZ. He spent four years working for the Phillies Triple-A affiliate, two with Baseball Info Solutions and two contributing to prospect coverage at ESPN.com. Previous work can also be found at Sports On Earth, CrashburnAlley and Prospect Insider.
This is awesome, thank you. So do you know how they get selected? The internet told me only about the committee that does so, not how they choose.
This is so fantastic. Thanks again for THE BOARD…It just keeps getting better.
just fyi, if you click on Kyle Wright, it links to the wrong player…a guy that was in the Dbacks organization in the mid 00’s.
Really looking forward to the next update to the board. Its interesting to track the development of players over time.
