SAN FRANCISCO — The honor role of players who have competed in the All-Star Futures Game is stunning.
Here is a very partial list: Miguel Cabrera, Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Justin Verlander, Joey Votto, Clayton Kershaw, Jose Altuve, Paul Goldschmidt, Madison Bumgarner, Manny Machado, Kris Bryant, Aaron Judge, Ronald Acua Jr., Mookie Betts, Kris Bryant and Nolan Arenado.
Saturday night at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, Rockies outfield prospect Yanquiel Fernandez suited up for the National League squad. There are no guarantees Fernandez will ever join the aforementioned list, but right now, he just might be the Rockies’ most exciting and dynamic player of the future.
