The upcoming MLB All-Star Futures Game will showcase two rising Tennessee talents, Liam Doyle and Gavin Kilen, who have earned spots on the National League roster, marking the third and fourth Volunteers to be invited to the event.
Future Stars Take the Field
Doyle, a right‑handed pitcher in the St. Louis Cardinals system, has emerged as one of the organization’s most promising arms. He posted a 5.82 ERA and recorded 71 strikeouts in 51 innings, a performance that helped the Springfield Cardinals capture the 2025 Texas League Championship.
Kilen, an infielder with the San Francisco Giants, brings a .288 batting average and a league‑leading 60 RBIs in the Northwest League. His impact was evident in a walk‑off double and two home runs that secured a victory over the Everett AquaSox.
Both players will join the Futures Game on July 12 in Philadelphia, where they will face the league’s top prospects in a showcase that often serves as a preview of future All‑Star selections.
