Get to know four incredible prospects who could wow us all in the Futures Game
The SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, which features a USA Team and a World Team made up of the best prospects in the Minor Leagues, starts Sunday at 4 p.m. ET.

With this year's exhibition just around the corner, we wanted to take a look at some of the most notable and promising figures who will showcase their talents on Sunday.
Hunter Greene - RHP Cincinnati Reds (Team USA)

Greene is almost a lock to hit at least 100 mph in the Futures Game and could even pump it up to as high as 102.
Jo Adell - OF Los Angeles Angels (Team USA)
The Angels selected Adell with the 10th overall pick of the 2017 Draft because of his immense potential even though some wondered if Adell would hit for enough average to allow his incredible raw power to shine. Well, so far in his MiLB career, Adell has done nothing but mash the ball to the tune of a .321 batting average and 22 home runs.
Did we mention his athleticism? Oh yeah, the dude is quite the specimen.

Drafted by the Nationals in the 3rd round back in 2016, Luzardo was dealt to Oakland last summer in the deal that sent All-Star
If Luzardo makes the bigs -- and right now, that looks like a pretty good bet -- he'll become the first ever Major Leaguer born in Peru. Though both of his parents are Venezuelan, Luzardo spent the first year of his life in Peru before his family moved to South Florida.
Remember Fernando Tatis Sr.? The guy who famously knocked two grand slams in a single inning? Well his son might be even better.
