Major League Baseball's next generation of stars has Georgia on its mind.
The 2025 All-Star Futures Game rosters for the American and National Leagues were announced Monday morning, and of the 50 players included, 34 find themselves on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list, including nine of the top 19.

Padres shortstop Leo De Vries is the highest-ranked prospect headed to Atlanta this year at No. 3 on the Top 100. The switch-hitting shortstop has already reached the Midwest League with Fort Wayne and is the only age-18 player to achieve the qualifying standard at High-A this season. He's joined by Brewers infielder Jesús Made (No. 8 and the youngest participant this year), Phillies right-hander Andrew Painter (No. 10), Cardinals shortstop JJ Wetherholt (No. 19) and Rockies first baseman/outfielder Charlie Condon (No. 23) among the biggest Top 100 names on the NL side.
The AL club will be led by a trio of Tigers prospects in shortstop Kevin McGonigle (No. 7), outfielder Max Clark (No. 12) and catcher/first baseman Josue Briceño (No. 58), each of whom helped High-A West Michigan clinch a Midwest League East Division first-half title. Clark's .426 OBP ranks fifth among High-A qualifiers, while McGonigle's 1.083 OPS is second-best among all Minor League full-season hitters with at least 150 plate appearances and Briceño's 14 homers are tops in the MWL. Rangers shortstop Sebastian Walcott (No. 4) and White Sox left-hander Noah Schultz (No. 17) help give the junior circuit additional prospect heft and a decidedly AL Central flavor.
The National League is 3-1-1 since the All-Star Futures Game moved from a U.S.-World format to AL-NL in 2019. The NL won last year's contest, 6-1, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and Reds third baseman Cam Collier took home Larry Doby Most Valuable Player Award honors, thanks to a 409-foot homer. Condon, Montes and Walcott each bring power-tool grades of 65 or higher on the 20-80 scouting scale and could be the sluggers to watch come this All-Star Saturday.
This year's edition of the Minor League midseason classic will again be seven innings. Both clubs will be led from the dugout by a pair of Braves legends in Chipper Jones (NL) and Marquis Grissom (NL). Grissom's son, Nationals right-handed pitching prospect Marquis Grissom Jr., will participate opposite his father alongside Jones on the NL side.
Seven countries and territories will be represented in this year's All-Star Futures Game: the Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Panama, the United States and Venezuela. Forty-two of the 50 players appeared on the most recent Spring Breakout rosters from Arizona and Florida, and nine came from the first round of the 2024 Draft. The 2025 Draft is set to begin one day later on July 13, also in Atlanta.
