Josue De Paula Wins 2025 Futures Game MVP

Josue De Paula, the Los Angeles Dodgers' top prospect who grew up in New York City and the Dominican Republic, led the National League to a 4-2 victory over the American League in the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game at Atlanta's Truist Park with a decisive 416-foot three-run home run off 6'10" Chicago White Sox prospect Noah Schultz. De Paula was named MVP of the game, marking the NL's third straight win since the format switched to AL vs. NL. The American League took an early 2-0 lead, but the National League surged ahead in the fourth inning, aided by an RBI double from Owen Caissie. The event showcased top minor-league talent, with notable pitching performances from the Mets' Jonah Tong and Atlanta's JR Ritchie. Former Atlanta stars Chipper Jones and Marquis Grissom managed the NL and AL teams, respectively, adding prestige to the event. The game highlighted the depth of future MLB talent on both sides.
