Wisconsin Timber Rattlers shortstop Luis Peña will represent the Rattlers at the MLB All-Star Futures Game on July 12 in Philadelphia. Peña, the #2 prospect of the Milwaukee Brewers and MLB Pipeline’s #16 prospect in baseball, will be reunited with former Timber Rattlers teammate Jesús Made, Milwaukee’s and Pipeline’s #1 prospect, for the game as a member of the National League team.
Peña has had a strong season with the Timber Rattlers, with a .304 average, sixteen stolen bases, and twelve RBI in just 23 games. He missed over a month of games due to dehydration and a hamstring injury.
This is the ninth time a Timber Rattler has been named to play in the Futures Game. Including Peña and Made, there have been 35 previous Timber Rattlers named to a Futures Game roster since the game started in 1999.
