Boston prospect Jarren Duran will be the only player in the Red Sox organization playing in the MLB Futures Game. 2019 marks a year of changes for the MLB Futures Game. The game will now follow an American League vs National League format and there will be a reduction of innings playing only seven.
The young 22-year-old was drafted by the Red Sox during the 7th round of the 2018 draft out of California State University Long Beach (2016-2018). Duran played second base and outfield. During 2017 he had a stint playing at Wareham Gatemen (a collegiate summer baseball team that is a part of the Cape Cod Baseball League).
