Representing the American squad, California third baseman/right-handed pitcher Bryce Rainer is one of the top two-way prospects in the class, with power from the left side and a strong arm that already tickles the mid-90s. His fellow statesman Derek Curiel should also provide some quality left-handed at-bats as a prospect who stands out for his zone coverage, and he has the speed and defensive instincts to make a name for himself from the outfield as well.
On the National side, keep an eye out for another two-way star in Konnor Griffin out of Mississippi. Like Curiel, Griffin is committed to LSU and brings exceptional bat speed to the table, along with an ability to flash low-90s velocity from the bump. Mix in quality speed and power, and he could be the best five-tool prospect in the class heading into the summer. Griffin has experience on the grass and dirt but is listed as an outfielder/right-handed pitcher for this event. He might play out there with Georgia outfielder Michael Mullinax, a switch-hitter with tons of wheels to burn.

Multiple players have participated in diversity-focused programs through MLB and USA Baseball, including the Breakthrough Series, DREAM Series and Hank Aaron Invitational. Two such prospects will have familiar names to baseball fans across the globe ¨C American second baseman/shortstop Noah Sheffield (son of Gary) and National shortstop/third baseman Adrian Beltre Jr. (son of the Rangers legend of the same name).
The two sides will be managed by a pair of former Major League southpaws in Jamie Moyer, who played 11 of his 25 Major League seasons with the hometown Mariners, and 21-year veteran LaTroy Hawkins.
The High School Home Run Derby, featuring members of the All-American Game, will be held on July 8 and will be livestreamed on MLB.com.
