The Triple-A all-star game won’t be short on name recognition or intrigue.

Seven of Baseball America’s Top 100 Prospects were selected to the game, headlined by by Houston Astros farmhand Kyle Tucker, the 12th-best prospect in baseball. It also features several names familiar to many— Socrates Brito, A.J. Reed, Enyel De Los Santos, just to name a few—and others who have carved out impressive careers in the minors.

Tucker, who was called up to the majors by Houston this week,  was  the headliner for the Pacific Coast League. Second baseman Luis Urias (No. 28 overall, Padres) and Alex Verdugo (No. 36, Dodgers) as other top 100 prospects selected to the roster.

Four members of the Top 100 made the International League roster: catcher Francisco Mejia (No. 32, Indians); pitcher Kolby Allard (No. 57, Braves); outfielder Christin Stewart (No. 90, Tigers) and catcher Danny Jansen (No. 93, Blue Jays).

The respective leagues will play this year’s All-Star Game on July 11th in Columbus, Ohio.
