Cam Collier (MVP, 1-for-2, HR), Reds No. 3 prospect/MLB No. 83
Day Air Ballpark, home of the High-A Dayton Dragons
Bringing 13 homers into the break, Collier gave the National League a serious momentum jolt with a third-inning jack that ended a scoreless tie. Reds fans who live in the greater Cincinnati area are lucky -- as of this moment, they can go see Collier within an hour's drive of Great American Ball Park. Day Air Ballpark's beautiful downtown environs and passionate fans will make it worth the trip wherever you're coming from. Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the CIN system: AT&T Field, home of the Double-A Chattanooga Lookouts

Kyle Teel (2-for-2, 2 2B), Red Sox No. 3 prospect/MLB No. 24
Hadlock Field, Home of the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs
The only player who put up a multihit performance in the Futures Game can be found at a Minors gem up in the northeastern corner of the country. For the moment, this is also where you can catch fellow Futures Gamer Marcelo Mayer as well as Futures Skills Showcase winner Roman Anthony (both also holding a spot on the Top 100 Prospects list). Go see 'em, and check out the Maine Monster, Slugger the Sea Dog and the between-innings lobster toss. Complete ballpark guide »

Next step in the BOS system: Polar Park, home of the Triple-A Worcester Red Sox

Drake Baldwin (1-for-2, HR, 2 RBIs), Braves No. 10 prospect
Coolray Field, home of the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers
Baldwin's sixth-inning dinger blew the game open for the NL, and it must've looked familiar to fans who've seen him play with the Stripers. Since getting promoted to Triple-A on June 10, the backstop has bashed six homers in 28 games. Braves fans can see him at airy and spacious Coolray Field, right in the big league club's backyard.

Next stop in the ATL system: The Show

Justin Crawford (1-for-3, 2 PO), Phillies No. 3 prospect/MLB No. 54
FirstEnergy Stadium, home of the Double-A Reading Fightin Phillies
Crawford grabbed a share of the spotlight in Texas with a nifty diving grab of a liner off the bat of the Yankees' Spencer Jones as well as a running catch of a fly ball hit by the Tigers' Max Clark. Now, after he stole 27 bases in 70 games at High-A Jersey Shore, you can find Crawford at one of the Minors' most classic parks. Make time to check out the mascot band and stroll by boardwalk-style concession stands before the game. Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the PHI system: Coca-Cola Park, home of the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs

Max Clark (1-for-4, 4 PO), Tigers No. 1 prospect/MLB No. 10
LMCU Ballpark, home of the High-A West Michigan Whitecaps
After charming Futures Game viewers with both his play and his commentary while mic'ed up during the broadcast, the 19-year-old phenom made his Midwest League debut on Tuesday night. This means Tigers fans can see the game's 10th-ranked prospect at the stadium where the famous -- or perhaps infamous -- Fan Food Submission has annually brought us such gastronomical wonders as the Baco (a taco with a bacon shell) and Mt. Wing-suvious (an onion ring tower filled with cheese and Buffalo chicken toppings). Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the DET system: UPMC Park, home of the Double-A Erie SeaWolves

Noble Meyer (1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K, W), Marlins No. 1 prospect/MLB No. 39
ABC Supply Stadium, home of the High-A Beloit Sky Carp
Meyer, 19 years old, is in the midst of a remarkable year, on which he put an exclamation mark with a scoreless inning in the Futures Game. He got bumped up to Beloit at the end of May and has held High-A hitters to a .145 average through his first four starts there. Find a game he's scheduled to get the ball and stick around for the antics of mascot Poopsie (a goose -- goose being the more common name for "sky carp"). Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the MIA system: Blue Wahoos Stadium, home of the Double-A Pensacola Blue Wahoos

Termarr Johnson (1-for-2, RS), Pirates No. 2 prospect/MLB No. 75
First National Bank Field, home of the High-A Greensboro Grasshoppers
Also a Future Skills Showcase standout, Johnson has been flirting with a .400 OBP while racking up extra-base hits for the Grasshoppers all year. He just turned 20 in June, so it's possible you have a little time to catch him in Greensboro, but what's to be gained by dawdling? Come out to this grand and historic ballpark, which has been home to a long line of beloved bat dogs. Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the PIT system: Peoples Natural Gas Field, home of the Double-A Altoona Curve

Emiliano Teodo (2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 0 R, 1 K), Rangers No. 15
Riders Field, home of the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders
Two words: Lazy river. Teodo, who was the first pitcher in Futures Game history to turn in two perfect innings, makes his regular-season starts at a ballpark that's an easy trip for Dallas-area Rangers fans and boasts a water feature with field views. Complete ballpark guide »

Next stop in the TEX system: Dell Diamond, home of the Triple-A Round Rock Express

Druw Jones (0-for-1, 3 BB, RBI, 3 PO), D-backs No. 3 prospect/MLB No. 78 prospect
Valley Strong Ballpark, home of the Single-A Visalia Rawhide
Jones, the son of 10-time Gold Glove winner Andruw Jones, patrols the grass at this historic park that's an absolute dream for the baseball purist who can't get enough of that old-time hardball feel. That's not to say it lacks creature comforts -- check out the Hall of Fame Club for a nice bar experience and a look at artifacts and clippings from the stadium's eight decades of baseball.
