A.J. Blubaugh helped the American League Futures team get out of a jam in his short appearance in the prospects game.
pitching prospect A.J. Blubaugh probably had the best story of how he found out he was going to the MLB Futures Game.
Blubaugh was the only Astros’ prospect selected to the AL Futures Roster. In an odd twist, he and his teammates were in the home clubhouse at Globe Life Field, which happens to be the home clubhouse for the Astros’ rivals, the Texas Rangers.But he was clearly trying to take it all in.Blubaugh got his chance to pitch in the fourth inning and AL Futures manager and Rangers legend Adrián Beltré handed him a jam.
“I came here looking for a good experience,” Blubaugh said. “I mean it’s a great opportunity to be around other players and get a little taste of what it would be like under the lights.”
