The Athletic: Analyzing the last 20 years of Futures Game Participants

[Vanimal46]

Admittedly it's not the best visual article they've written at the Athletic. Could have used some charts and graphs instead of writing out the stats in word format.

 

Still, interesting to read data about past Futures Game players and how they progressed from that point.

 

The TL:DR version of the article.

 

88% of participants in the Futures Game makes it to the MLB. 50% of those participants are replacement-level or worse. Less than 10% of participants become multi-year all stars.
