The best thing about the Futures Game is batting practice, but this year's group doesn't have a Gallo, so we're going to have to settle for the next best thing. In this case, that's strong-armed starting pitchers packing all their heat into a one-inning stint. No pitcher is more likely to melt radar guns at this year's Futures Game than Reyes, who routinely hits triple digits and has registered 101 mph this year with Class A Advanced Palm Beach. Aroldis Chapman is the king of the radar gun at Great American Ball Park, but with only 10-15 pitches to throw, Reyes could be his greatest challenger yet. Let's hope that a sore shoulder, reported Friday, won't keep him from the mound in Cincinnati. -- Jake Seiner
