At 26, Baltimore's Henry Urrutia, one of those two reserve outfielders, is two-and-a-half years older than any other World position player, and is the oldest player on either roster. Taking him as Baltimore's second representative over third baseman Nick Delmonico might be the single worst decision on either roster, especially since the other blatant non-prospect in the game, Atlanta's Joey Terdoslavich, is occupying a spot that could have gone to Delmonico instead.

 

The World pitching staff has less pure velocity than it normally does, with more command/feel guys than we usually get, including the Mets' Rafael Montero and the Royals'Miguel Almonte, both of whom fill up the strike zone. Baltimore's Eduardo Rodriguez, my100th-ranked prospect coming into the season, also fits in this category, but has increased his strikeout rate over 2012 even though he moved up a level.
