Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 4, 2024 12:27 pm

Major League Baseball has added a Futures Skills Showcase with players from the Futures Game to All-Star Weekend.

It\'ll take place at the conclusion of the Futures Game and feature three events.

The competitions will be \"Hit it Here,\" \"Call Your Shot,\" and \"Swing for the Fences.\"

\"The All-Star Futures Game is a premier event on the baseball calendar for the next generation of Major League stars and the addition of the Futures Skills Showcase to All-Star Saturday will enhance the experience for both players and fans,\" MLB Chief Baseball Development Officer Tony Reagins said in a statement.

\"Building on the success and popularity of the inaugural Spring Breakout, this is another exciting opportunity for Baseball to engage with a young audience while providing a platform for these great young players to display their incredible talents in a competitive format.\"
