The 2023 Futures Game, the 24th all-time, will be played at T-Mobile Park in Seattle, Washington on Saturday, July 8. As has become the custom, the game will be contested between American and National League squads. (The Futures Game used to adhere to a different format, pitting a United States team against a World roster.) Former Mariners players Harold Reynolds (AL) and Raul Ibañez (NL) will serve as the managers.

Here are five more things to know about this year's Futures Game.

1. Game will last just seven innings

If you enjoyed the truncated doubleheader games from the 2020 season, then you're in luck. The Futures Game will not be a nine-inning affair. Rather, it'll go seven by design. If an eighth inning is required, the teams will begin their respective halves of the frame with the automatic runner at second base -- or, the now-usual operating procedure for extra-inning tilts.

2. Series tied through three games

Again, the switch to the AL-NL format is relatively new. The AL, who will serve as the "home" team in this game, won last year's game by a 6-4 final. The NL won the 2021 contest, while the two sides played to a tie in 2019. The 2020 edition of the Futures Game, along with the rest of the All-Star festivities, was canceled because of the COVID-19 global pandemic.

3. Automated strike zone challenge system in play

The Futures Game will experiment with the same automated strike-zone challenge system that has been used throughout the Triple-A season. Essentially, a human umpire will call balls and strikes, but teams will be allowed two challenges per game that force the umpires to consult with the automated strike zone. The players initiate said challenges by tapping on their helmets. A team cannot gain or maintain challenges once they're used.
