Augusta GreenJackets pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach has been named to the roster for the National League in the upcoming 2023 SiriusXM All-Star Futures League game July 8 at All-Star Weekend in Seattle.
The Lansing, Mich. native Schwellenbach, who is rated as the sixth overall prospect in the Atlanta Braves organization by MLB Pipeline, was selected in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of the University of Nebraska.
After missing the 2022 season recovering from surgery, the former John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year has dominated on the mound for Augusta this year. Schwellenbach has recorded three quality starts, tied for the league lead amongst active pitchers. The right-hander boasts a record of 3-2 with a 2.76 ERA and a WHIP of 1.16.
Schwellenbach is the lone Braves’ representative at the All-Star Futures Game. Voting for your favorite Atlanta players is still open now at www.mlb.com/all-star/ballot.
