Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Sal Stewart has been selected to play in the All-Star Futures Game in Atlanta.

The Futures Game is an annual seven-inning exhibition that includes at least one prospect from every organization.

Stewart is having a tremendous season with Double-A Chattanooga, slashing .327/.390/.498 with 27 extra-base hits in 71 games.

The 21-year-old is the Reds' third-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline.

"Stewart’s advanced approach has been apparent from day one of his pro career," MLB Pipeline wrote. "He carried a miniscule 15.7 percent career strikeout rate into the 2025 season and he’s walked as often as he’s struck out (138 BB vs. 139 Ks). He makes a lot of hard contact and can send line drives to all fields consistently against all kinds of pitching."

Reds prospect Cam Collier played in the game last season and was named the 2024 Futures Game MVP.

It wouldn't be surprising to see Stewart get called up to Triple-A Louisville soon.
