Last night, MLB showcased dozens of budding superstars at the Futures Game. The Reds were represented by Taylor Trammell, who got up the sugars of many a baseball fan by stealing home. The umpire called him out, but we all know what really happened.
MacKenzie Gore, one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball, threw a scoreless frame. He has posted a 1.02 ERA in 15 starts for the Padres’ A+ squad in the Cali League. He is likely to be promoted to AA for the season’s second half.
Brendan McKay of the Tampa Bay Rays was not invited.
