May 25, 2016 | Baseball
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Former Mississippi State pitching standout Paul Maholm has been named to the 25-man roster for the seventh annual XM Satellite Radio All-Star Futures Game July 10 in Detroit. The game is held in conjunction with Major League Baseball's 76th All-Star Game July 12 at Detroit's Comerica Park and will be televised on ESPN2 (3 p.m. CDT).
Maholm, a three-year standout and former All-SEC and All-America pitcher at Mississippi State University, owns a 4-2 record with a 3.39 earned run average in 13 starts with the Altoona ( Pa.) Curve, the Pittsburgh Pirates' affiliate in the Class AA Eastern League. The Holly Springs, Miss., native was drafted in the first round by Pittsburgh in 2003 and missed most of the 2004 season after being struck in the face by a line drive.
The Futures Game showcases the top U.S. and international minor league prospects. Hall of Famer George Brett will manage the U.S. Team while 1984 American league MVP and Cy Young Award winner Guillermo Hernandez has been tapped to manage the World Team.
