Many eventual MLB stars have played in the All-Stars Futures Game since its inception in 1999, such as Miguel Cabrera, Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, Gerrit Cole and others. Montgomery is the top prospect in the White Sox organization and considered the 16th-best across MLB.

The All-Star Futures Game, which takes place July 13 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, will be televised at 3 p.m. CDT on the MLB Network.
