*North Augusta, SC* The Augusta GreenJackets, the proud Single-A Carolina League affiliate of the Atlanta Braves, are thrilled to announce that RHP Spencer Schwellenbach (Saginaw, Michigan/University of Nebraska) has been named to the roster for the National League in the upcoming 2023 SiriusXM Futures League game at All-Star Weekend in Seattle, WA.

Schwellenbach, rated as the 6th overall prospect in the Braves organization by MLB Pipeline, was selected in the second round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of the University of Nebraska. After missing the 2022 season recovering from surgery, the former John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year has dominated on the mound for Augusta this year. Schwellenbach has recorded three quality starts, tied for the league lead amongst active pitchers. He boasts a record of 3-2 with a 2.76 ERA and a WHIP of 1.16.

Schwellenbach is the lone Braves representative at the All-Star Futures Game, but will be joined in Seattle by a plethora of Braves.

The SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game will take place on Saturday, July 8th at 7pm EST/4pm local time in Seattle. The game will air exclusively on radio on SiriusXM and will be televised by Peacock.
