Share

Two of the Dodgers’ top young prospects were named to this season’s All-Star Futures Game.

The game matches star minor leaguers from the United States against a world team.

Two products at Class-A Rancho Cucamonga will represent the Dodgers, left-hander Julio Urias and infielder Corey Seager.

Urias, still only 17, will play for the world team. He is 1-1 with a 3.35 ERA in 14 games (11 starts), with 48 strikeouts and 21 walks in 45 2/3 innings.

Seager, the Dodgers’ No.1 draft pick in 2112, leads the Quakes with a .353 batting average, with 13 home runs and 53 RBIs. The 20-year-old shortstop also leads the team with 27 doubles in just 269 at-bats and has a .405 on-base percentage. He was selected for the U.S. team.
