MIDLAND, Mich. – Thayron Liranzo has been selected by Major League Baseball to participate in the 2024 All-Star Futures Game. The game is at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday, July 13th.
The 20-year-old has been with the Loons since Opening Day, appearing in 61 of the first 75 games. The Dominican Republic native has a .732 OPS with six home runs, 32 runs batted in, and 36 games started behind the plate.
Season highlights for Liranzo include a home run from both sides of the plate on May 19th in Dayton, Ohio, two walk-off hits in back-to-back games at Dow Diamond, a tenth-inning RBI double on May 22nd, and a tenth-inning RBI single on May 23rd.
Liranzo ranks as the Los Angeles Dodgers' No. 8 prospect via MLB Pipeline. It will be the third straight Futures game with a Loons catcher participating.
