SAN DIEGO — An organization that has built its reputation and its roster on an ability to develop pitching will send two rarities to baseball's annual showcase of rising, young talent -- hitters, high ceilings and all.
Nolan Gorman, the Cardinals' first round pick in 2018, and Dylan Carlson, a switch-hitting outfielder at Class AA Springfield, were selected to represent the Cardinals at the Futures Game on July 7 in Cleveland.
Gorman, 19, was recently promoted to High-A Palm Beach where he's five-for-22 in his first six games with a home run and a triple.
