Renegades Alumni Selected for Futures Game

FISHKILL – A couple of prospects are still making waves for the Hudson Valley Renegades Minor League Baseball team, even though they haven’t worn the uniform in a while.

Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the 2026 MLB All-Star Futures Game. Former Renegades players Carlos Lagrange and George Lombard Jr. have been selected to represent the Yankees on the American League team managed by Larry Bowa.

Lombard Jr., 21, is the consensus number one prospect in the Yankees system and currently plays with the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. He played for the Renegades across the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

This will be Lombard Jr.’s second Futures Game appearance, having also been selected in 2025. MLB Pipeline rates him as the number 20 prospect in baseball.

Lagrange, 23, is rated the number four prospect in the Yankees system and also currently plays for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He pitched for the Renegades in 2025 and went 4-2 with a 4.10 ERA and 64 strikeouts in 41.2 innings across eight starts. This is his first Futures Game selection.

MLB Pipeline rates Lagrange as the number 85 prospect in the sport.

Additionally, 2025 Renegades Manager James Cooper has been announced as the third base coach for the American League squad. Cooper led the Renegades to a franchise-record 79 wins in 2025 and is currently managing the Double-A Somerset Patriots.

Since the Futures Game began in 1999, 26 former Renegades players have been named to a Futures Game roster, including 2001 Futures Game MVP Toby Hall, Evan Longoria (2007), Jeremy Hellickson (2010), Anthony Volpe (2022), and Spencer Jones (2023-24).

In the meantime, this year’s edition of the Renegades are still wallowing below .500 as they prepared to wrap up a series against the Rome Emperors.
