Futures Game: National League 8, American League 0
The Orioles had two players representing their organization in yesterday’s Futures Game, which saw the American League get shut out. One player you would expect: mega catching prospect Adley Rutschman. The other, pitcher Marcos Diplán, is more of a mystery.
Rutschman batted cleanup for the AL team but didn’t make much of a difference. He flew out in his first at-bat and walked in his second. He was then pulled from the game to let another prospect get into the game. He did hit a 468 foot home run during batting practice that was mildly impressive.
