All-Star Futures Game

The Futures Game was conceived by Jimmie Lee Solomon, an Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations for Major League Baseball, looking for an event to showcase the minor leagues and round out the All-Star week festivities.

[1] Early versions of the game created marginal interest in the baseball community, but the event has attracted more attention in later years.

Players born in Puerto Rico were part of the World team despite being U.S. citizens by birth, because that territory has its own national baseball federation and national team.

In 2019 and since 2021, one extra inning may be played, with each half-inning starting with a runner at second base, the last player put out.

Multiple award winners have gone on to become MLB All-Stars, denoted in the below table of game results.
