DENVER -- Two infielders who are rapidly moving through the Rockies' Minor League system -- Double-A Hartford's Brendan Rodgers, the team's No. 1 prospect according to MLBPipeline.com, and Triple-A Albuquerque's Ryan McMahon, the No. 5 prospect -- will represent the organization in the 2017 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game during All-Star Weekend.
Rodgers and McMahon will play for Team USA against the World team July 9 at Marlins Park in Miami in the 19th installment of the game involving top Minor League prospects. Both were so dominant offensively at the start of the year that they earned promotions.
The 2017 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game takes place on Sunday, July 9, at 2 p.m. MT at Marlins Park in Miami and can be viewed live on MLB Network and MLB.com.
:: 2017 Futures Game coverage ::
Rodgers, 20, the Rockies' top pick and the third overall selection in the 2015 MLB Draft, hit .400 with 12 home runs, 21 doubles, three triples and 46 RBIs in 48 games at Class A Advanced Lancaster in the California League. Two years out of Lake Mary (Fla.) High School, Rodgers dominated in a league that pitted him against former collegiate players -- a situation where high school signees often struggle the first year.
In his first seven games at Hartford, Rodgers hit .259 (7-for-27). Rodgers has played mostly shortstop -- 44 games at Lancaster, seven at Hartford -- and played four games at second base at Lancaster.
