The Royals\u2019 farm system may lack depth, but the higher-end talent is gaining notice on prospect lists. And during MLB\u2019s All-Star weekend, you can get a look at the future!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Pitcher Kendry Chourio and catcher Blake Mitchell were both named to the MLB Future Game to be played at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia on Sunday, July 12 at 11 a.m. CT. The American League will be managed by former Gold Glove shortstop Larry Bowa, while the National League will be managed by former All-Star outfielder Shane Victorino.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Chourio is ranked as a top prospect by both MLB Pipeline (#70) and Baseball America (#32). The 18-year-old right-hander dominated at Low-A with a 1.88 ERA in 11 starts with 44 strikeouts and just 9 walks in 48 innings, earning him a promotion to High-A recently. Chourio throws in the mid-90s with a plus change up and has excellent command and poise on the mound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mitchell was the eighth-overall pick in the 2023 draft out of high school in Texas. He suffered a hamate bone injury last year, but has rebounded to hit .210\/.409\/.425 with 13 home runs and 16 steals in 68 games at High-A this year. He features the best plate discipline in the organization and had an impressive 24 percent walk rate in the advanced Arizona Fall League last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The game will feature some of the best overall prospects in the sport including Brewers shortstop Jes\u00fas Made, Nationals shortstop Eli Willits, Dodgers outfielder Josue De Paula, Athletics shortstop Leo De Vries, Mariners pitcher Kade Anderson, and Pirates pitcher Seth Hernandez.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The game will air exclusively on NBC with Melanie Newman, Yonder Alonso, Sam Dykstra and Sande Charles calling the action.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
