Bell entered the Sunday showcase having shown an uptick in average with Double-A Altoona, but at the sacrifice of power. He hit four homers and 13 doubles in his first 80 games this season.
"I feel like I've hit for power in the past. I'm hitting for average right now," Bell said. "I feel like there are guys in the big leagues who I can aspire to be like who are hitting for both power and average."
Bell, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Pirates' third-best prospect, was accompanied by first-time Futures participant Elias Diaz, who has spent the season splitting catching duties with Tony Sanchez at Triple-A Indianapolis.
