MLB Futures Game 2019 Results: Score, Highlights, Top Prospects and Reaction

Rob GoldbergJul 7, 2019

The top prospects in baseball were on display Sunday, and neither side was able to stand above the other as the National League and American League finished with a 2-2 tie in the 2019 MLB Futures Game. 

Sam Huff was named MVP and provided much of the offense with a two-run home run for the AL to tie the game in the seventh inning. However, both lineups were quiet in a close battle at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

Wander Franco, rated the No. 1 prospect in baseball by MLB.com, went 1-for-2 before he was replaced in the fifth inning.

Huff, a Texas Rangers prospect, had the biggest swing of the night with his game-tying home run:

Although the game was only scheduled to last seven innings, that hit took the contest to eight.

Los Angeles Angels prospect Jo Adell was also impressive for the AL while getting on base three times, scoring once and adding a nice defensive play in the outfield:

From the National League, Taylor Trammell proved one of the more exciting players in the game, building off his 2018 MVP award with another impressive effort in 2019.

The Cincinnati Reds prospect drove in the game's first run with a single in the fourth and then came close to a straight steal at home before he was called out:

St. Louis Cardinals prospect Dylan Carlson also provided some offense with a bases-loaded single for the NL:

Of course, the pitchers were the real stars during the low-scoring battle.

Only one of the nine NL pitchers gave up a run, with Ian Anderson (Atlanta Braves) and Dustin May (Los Angeles Dodgers) throwing 1-2-3 innings. MacKenzie Gore (San Diego Padres) and Anthony Kay (New York Mets) also faced the minimum in scoreless innings.

Padres prospect Luis Patino finished with 1.2 perfect innings while helping the NL get out of a jam in the seventh.

Several pitchers from the AL were also impressive, with few better than Toronto Blue Jays prospect Nate Pearson:

Deivi Garcia (New York Yankees), DL Hall (Baltimore Orioles), Jordan Balazovic (Minnesota Twins) and Grayson Rodriguez (Orioles) also pitched perfect innings to keep the score close.

Only a few batters were able to find success against this run of pitchers from both sides.

The final result didn't matter much, which allowed it to end in a tie without much debate. Still, there was plenty from this competition to excite baseball fans of nearly every team going forward.
