Major League Baseball unveiled the rosters for the 2025 All-Star Futures Game on Friday, assembling 50 of the sport’s brightest young talents for a seven-inning showdown at Truist Park in Atlanta on Saturday, July 12. The game will air live at 4:00 p.m. ET on MLB Network and stream on MLB.TV, MLB.com, and the MLB App.
This year’s edition features top prospects from every Major League organization and highlights both emerging talent and family ties, with players like Marquis Grissom Jr. set to take the field for the National League while his father manages the American League squad.
Headlining the National League roster is Colorado Rockies prospect and Golden Spikes Award winner Charlie Condon, the third overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft. He’s joined by fellow 2024 first-rounders JJ Wetherholt (Cardinals), Konnor Griffin (Pirates), Carson Benge (Mets), and Slade Caldwell (Diamondbacks). Padres phenom Leo De Vries, MLB Pipeline’s No. 3 overall prospect, is also among the NL’s rising stars.
On the American League side, Tigers top prospect Max Clark returns to the Futures Game after appearing in 2024. The AL lineup includes 11 first-round picks, such as Seattle’s Jurrangelo Cijntje and Harry Ford, Baltimore’s Enrique Bradfield Jr., and Yankees shortstop George Lombard Jr., son of the former MLB player and current Detroit Tigers bench coach.
The 2025 rosters showcase broad developmental reach: 42 of the 50 players participated in Spring Breakout this March, and 17 of the game’s participants were first-round selections. Players from six countries beyond the U.S. are represented, and eight have taken part in MLB and USA Baseball development initiatives, including the Breakthrough Series, Hank Aaron Invitational, and DREAM Series.
Hall of Famer Chipper Jones will manage the NL squad, while the AL team will be led by former two-time All-Star Marquis Grissom. They’ll be joined by an all-star coaching cast of Braves alumni, including Tim Hudson, Andruw Jones, Dale Murphy, Fred McGriff, and Nick Markakis.
Last year’s Futures Game saw the NL claim a 6-1 win, and under the current AL vs. NL format, they hold a 3-1-1 edge. The showcase has proven to be a reliable forecast of future stardom—more than 86% of past participants have reached the big leagues, with over 250 making at least one MLB All-Star appearance.
