Walcott To Be Featured in MLB Futures Game

Rangers Prospect to Start at Shortstop and Hit 3rd

ARLINGTON, TEXAS – 2024 has been a breakout year for Texas Rangers prospect Sebastian Walcott.

The 18-year-old shortstop came into the season with high expectations as he was announced as the top prospect in the team’s system.  Walcott has lived up to those expectations, hitting .286 with 3 home runs and a .853 OPS in the month of June. For his stellar play, he was named to the Major League Futures All-Star game, which showcases every team’s top prospect in the minors. 

Today it was announced that Walcott will be featured prominently in the game, starting at shortstop and hitting third in the batting order for the American League All-Stars, a slot reserved for a team’s best hitter.
