The 2024 Futures Game kicked off what is sure to be an entertaining few days of All-Star festivities in Arlington, Texas. A host of the best prospects on the planet headlined a Futures Game full of promise for the years to come.
Of note, there were eight Future Stars Series alumni featured in the game including Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews, Reds third baseman Cam Collier, Brewers shortstop Cooper Pratt, Padres left-handed pitcher Robby Snelling, and Cardinals right-handed pitcher Tink Hence, though he was inactive.
Collier had a big day including posting the first run on the board with a homer to right-center field deposited deep into the bullpen. His homer left the bat at 105.1 mph and traveled 409 feet. It was a bomb.
