The last two No. 2 overall Major League Baseball draft picks will play for the National League in the All-Star Futures Game featuring top prospects. Washington’s Dylan Crews, the second pick in 2023, and Arizona’s Druw Jones headline a group that includes a dozen former first-round selections on both the National League and American League rosters.
The teams were announced on Tuesday.
Twins prospect Brooks Lee, currently an infielder for AAA-St. Paul, made it. He was the Twins’ top draft pick in 2022.
The Detroit Tigers’ No. 3 pick in last year’s draft, Max Clark, is among the former first-rounders on the AL team. The game features 10 of the game’s top 18 prospects, according to Baseball America.
