Part of the Major League Baseball All-Star week activities ever year is the Futures Game. The MLB Futures Game pins some of the top prospects in all of baseball against each other. Current Pittsburgh Pirates players such as Gregory Polanco, Jameson Taillon, and Starling Marte are among those who have played in this game in the past.
This season, the Pirates sent just one player to the Futures Game. This player was first baseman Will Craig. The former first round draft pick would go on to have a unique experience in the 2019 Futures Game.
