Everything Rangers fans need to know about 3 prospects in 2024 Futures Game

We are only a week and a half away from the 2024 MLB All-Star Game that will be held at Globe Life Field this season. Baseball fans from all over America will come down to Texas to watch some of the best baseball players compete in the Midsummer Classic.

But before we even get to the All-Star Game, fans will see MLB's best young talent in the Futures Game. Some of the best prospects in baseball will be coached by former Texas Rangers players Adrain Beltre and Michael Young.

Sam Huff, Joey Gallo, and Jack Leiter are just some of the previous Rangers who have participated in the Futures Game before. The Rangers have three prospects in the game this year: Emiliano Teodo, Winston Santos, and Sebastian Walcott will represent the American League. Let's look at how they've all performed this season and why they got selected.

Which Rangers prospects are in the 2024 Futures Game?

Emiliano Teodo

Teodo is the best prospect out of the three to make the Futures Game this season. You could make a case that he could be a bullpen option for the Rangers in 2024. He has a 1.82 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 62 innings this season with the Frisco RoughRiders. His best game of the year came on Father's Day when he struck out 11 batters while only allowing two hits. He is a name fans should get familiar with because he will be with the Rangers for a long time.

Winston Santos

Santos was recently promoted to the Frisco RoughRiders after dominating with the Hickory Crawdads. He's also been named one of the minor league MVPs by MLB.com Rangers beat writer Kennedi Landry. He's caught the attention of the Rangers' front office with his 3.36 ERA and 86 strikeouts between both clubs. He's another pitcher that fans should keep an eye on. While he doesn't have a chance of making the roster in Arlington this season, he will in the next couple of years. It will be fun to watch him in the Futures Game along with Teodo.

Sebastian Walcott

MLB wasn't going to leave off the Rangers' top prospect from the Futures Game this year. Walcott has a .237 batting average with a .738 OPS — not the greatest, but it's totally acceptable for his current situation. Walcott was teammates with Santos before he was promoted to Double-A. Walcott is only 18 and has a long baseball career ahead of him. At the moment, he is logjammed behind Corey Seager and the other shortstop prospects at the higher levels, but the Rangers can take their time developing Walcott into the player they need him to be.

The fact he's already made it this far is wildly encouraging, and gives fans hope that he could be the next version of Wyatt Langford, who's come on in a big way with the MLB roster in 2024.
