he Not only is the MLB draft a few weeks away, but the MLB All-Star festivities are around the corner. The Yankees will have representation at this year\u2019s event, inclusive of the Futures Games. George Lombard Jr<\/a> is the only Yankee at this year\u2019s Futures Games.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Major League All-Star selections were announced recently, with a few well-known Yankees on the list.\u00a0 The Futures Games is a showcase that features the top prospects of Major League Baseball within the MLB All-Star capacity. The Futures Games usually feature each team’s top-ranked organizational prospects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rosters for this event were recently announced and done by the league. Previously, the teams were labelled Team USA versus Team World. Now they are organized as National League versus American League. The prospect lineup for this season is intriguing and exciting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lombard Jr is the lone wolf prospect in pinstripes, on this year\u2019s American League roster. The middle infielder is currently ranked first among the New York Yankees’ top prospects. His popularity around minor league baseball is extreme, and his anticipation is high around the league.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Yankees top grassroot talent is something special and one to look forward to in the coming years. Lombard Jr is only 20 years old, one of the youngest players in double-A baseball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As time moves on, various traits of the top prospect are noticeably improving. His body is filling out on an athletic standpoint, and his overall movements look better. The footwork and agility seem to be noticeable, more than his draft combine show out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His swing and quick bat-speed has also been a trait of interest on top of his ability to work contact. Professional baseball has been the exposure he needed to break out and grow into the role he now holds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
