On July 12, the 2015 MLB Futures Game will showcase some of the best minor league talent for this season. The American prospects will face off against the international-born prospects in Cincinnati during All-Star weekend.
The Mets will have two representatives on the American team this year in outfielders Brandon Nimmo and Michael Conforto. This will be Nimmo’s second trip to the Futures Game, with the first appearance occurring in 2013 when the Mets were the host team. Conforto, the Mets’ 2014 first-round pick, is making his first trip to the Futures Game.
What can we expect to see from each of these outfielders in a few days? Let’s find out! Here are some scouting reports on both Nimmo and Conforto.
