BINGHAMTON, NY – Binghamton Rumble Ponies catcher Tomas Nido will play for the World Team at the 2017 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday, July 9, at Marlins Park in Miami. Nido is the tenth Binghamton player to be included in the game in the last seven years.

The Futures Game, entering his 19th year in existence, puts the top prospects in the game on the national stage during Major League Baseball’s All-Star Week festivities.

Nido, a native of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, was just named an Eastern League Mid-Season All-Star on Wednesday, solidifying his third straight All-Star nomination. Nido will play in the Futures Game for the first time in his career. The Rumble Ponies catcher was an All-Star with Savannah (Low-A) in 2015 and St. Lucie (High-A) in 2016. Nido has hit .283 since May 4. His five home runs are two shy of a career high.
