The Futures Game takes place every year during All-Star weekend, a showcase for the league's top minor-league prospects. Prospects are chosen across all levels of minor-league baseball, and allowed to showcase their talent.
Both former Phillies will bring coaching experience to the game, albeit to different extents. Bowa was the team's manager for four years (2001-04), decades after serving as the team's star shortstop. He is a member of the Phillies Wall of Fame for his on-field contributions, and serves as a senior adviser to baseball operations for the team.
Victorino, on the other hand, serves as a "prime time coach" for the Loco Beach Coconuts, a member of the Savannah Bananas' Banana Ball League. Before that, he was a two-time All-Star with the Phillies, the team's center fielder for eight seasons.
Victorino will also compete in the "MLBx: All-Star 3-on-3" competition on July 12, alongside former teammates Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins.
