Summary
Two Cubs prospects, 19-year-old first baseman Josiah Hartshorn and pitcher Mason McGwire, shone in the All-Star Futures Game, showcasing their talent and resilience. Hartshorn, who skipped college for a $2M Cubs deal, is now a top-30 prospect with power and consistency. McGwire, recovering from a season-ending elbow injury, brings elite stuff and a legendary father—Mark McGwire—who’s coached in MLB. Both roommates since Myrtle Beach, they’re thriving in South Bend. Meanwhile, White Sox’s top prospect Caleb Bonemer, playing third base, soaked in the big-league vibe and got a pep talk from Kenny Lofton. All three are on fast tracks to the majors.
