JJ Wetherholt will be on the big stage Saturday evening, alongside some of the best young players in pro baseball, taking part in the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game at Truist Park in Atlanta, home of the Braves.

First pitch for the Futures Game is set for 4 p.m. ET and can be streamed on MLB.TV and MLB Network.

The former West Virginia slugger recently earned a promotion to Triple-A Memphis after notching his first career multi-home run game. It didn't take long for him to make a splash at the Triple-A level, belting a triple to right field and blistering a homer to straightaway centerfield.

So far in three games with the Redbirds, Wetherholt is 4-for-11 with one homer, two RBI, a double, and a triple.

His fast rise through the minors is unprecedented, especially for the Cardinals' organization. He became the first Cardinals position player to make it to Triple-A within a calendar year of being drafted since Brett Wallace did it in 2009. If he continues to swing a hot bat deep into the summer, there's a chance he'll be a part of the team's September call-ups.
