5 Prospects to Watch in the MLB Futures Game
Rafael Devers is one of several top-rated prospects who will be taking part in Sunday's MLB Futures Game. Which prospects might make a big-league impact later this season?

Rafael Devers, 3B, Boston Red Sox

Devers slots into the top 10 in both of the aforementioned prospects lists, and he's putting on a show this year in Double-A.

Across 313 plate appearances, he's launched 18 homers with a 9.3% walk rate and .407 wOBA. It's worth noting that after swiping 18 bags in High-A last season, he has yet to steal a base this year, but that's about the only negative here.

The Boston Red Sox have been ultra-patient with Devers, letting him spend full seasons at High-A (2016) and Low-A (2015) over the past two years, but with a glaring hole at third, Devers may be in The Show very soon.
