Lindor to Play in Second All-Star Futures Game

By
July 8, 2013

Zebulon, N.C. - Shortstop Francisco Lindor has been selected to participate in his second Sirius/XM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday, July 14th. The 19-year-old from Caguas, Puerto Rico, will compete for the World team against a group of American prospects at Citi Field in New York, N.Y.

Lindor participated in the 2012 showcase at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. He will join fellow Cleveland Indians prospect CC Lee in New York. In his first season with the Carolina Mudcats, the 2011 first round pick owns a .307 batting average, is third in hits (83), top 10 with 18 stolen bases and tied for the league lead with five triples. Lindor was selected to the Carolina League All-Star roster earlier this year. He finished with a hit and two RBI in the Midsummer Classic against the California League in San Jose, Calif.

The 15th annual SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game takes place at 2 p.m. ET on All-Star Sunday at Citi Field in New York and can be seen live on MLB.com, ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD and followed live on MLB.com's Gameday. The U.S. team leads the World with an 8-6 record. Major League Baseball selected the 25 players currently on each team, in conjunction with the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau, MLB.com, Baseball America and the 30 Major League Clubs. Each Major League organization is represented, and players from all full-season Minor Leagues were eligible to participate.

Ninety-nine players have competed in both the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game and the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. In 2012, 30 Major League All-Stars were alumni of the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game.
