Every Futures Game selection in Marlins history

[Ely Sussman]

The annual Futures Game that kicks off MLB All-Star festivities is a fascinating snapshot of baseball's young talent. Beginning in 1999, it has given a platform to highly ranked prospects, many of whom will go on to play in the major leagues, whether that be for their current organization or another that is enticed to trade for them. The Miami Marlins' delegation at Truist Park for the 2025 event will include a pair of homegrown studs, catcher Joe Mack and left-hander Thomas White.

MLB.com's Futures Game all-time roster was a crucial resource to me in compiling this list. However, that page includes several typos where participants were incorrectly labeled as representatives of the Marlins org. It's possible that I am missing a few names from the "Florida Marlins" era in cases where players were mislabeled. Please comment if you notice any omissions!

Bold names went on to produce at least 5.0 fWAR during their major league careers.
