Format
Rosters for the Futures Game are selected by Baseball America magazine, in conjunction with MLB and all 30 major league teams. Every organization is represented, with no more than two players from any organization, and 25 players per team, divided into U.S. and World teams based on place of birth. (Players born in Puerto Rico are part of the "World" team despite being U.S. citizens by birth, because that territory has its own national baseball federation and national team). Games last nine innings (seven innings prior to 2008), with two extra innings available to settle a tie after playing all regulation innings. Pitchers are limited to pitching only one inning.
Rosters are selected by a joint committee consisting of Major League Baseball, MLB.com, and Baseball America magazine.
