3 Min Read

Los Angeles Angels pitching prospect George Klassen was named to the American League roster for the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game that’s being played Saturday, July 12.

The 26th annual event is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. PT and will air live on MLB Network with simulcasts on MLB.TV, MLB.com and in the MLB App. Melanie Newman (play-by-play), Yonder Alonso (analyst), Jonathan Mayo (analyst) and Sande Charles (reporter) are going to be on the call.

The 2025 Futures Game is being played at Truist Park, which is also hosting the Celebrity Softball Game, Home Run Derby and MLB All-Star Game this year.

Scheduled for seven innings, the All-Star Futures Game once again is formatted for AL vs. National League. It was first introduced in 2019 after 20 years of a United States roster facing off against a World team.

The NL holds a 3-1-1 advantage over the AL in the current format.

Atlanta Braves legends will be featured as managers in the Futures Game, with Hall of Famer Chipper Jones leading the NL team, and two-time All-Star Marquis Grissom guiding the AL.

Mark DeRosa, Johnny Estrada, Tim Hudson, Andruw Jones, Ryan Klesko, Nick Markakis, Fred McGriff and Dale Murphy are among those who will be involved as coaches as well.

Among the 50 players named to this year’s Futures Game, 42 participated in the second annual Spring Breakout this past March.
