Once again, the Futures Game is international -- just like Major League Baseball as a whole. And once again, the Dominican Republic is at the forefront.

As has been the case since 1995, when MLB began tracking players on active rosters born outside the continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii (not including Puerto Rico), the Dominican Republic was No. 1 on the list on Opening Day this year with 99 such players. And with Thursday’s announcement of the rosters for the 2022 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game, the D.R. once again is at the head of the class with six prospects among the National and American League squads for the seven-inning contest slated for Saturday, July 16 at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT at Dodger Stadium.

Two other baseball-rich Latin American countries, Venezuela and Cuba, will be represented with five and three players, respectively, while Curaçao, Canada and Australia will each have one participant.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Dominican contingent on the American League squad includes outfielder Jasson Dominguez, who at 19 is now No. 40 on MLB Pipeline’s latest Top 100 Prospects list and No. 3 for the Yankees. Dominguez, who will be playing in his second straight Futures Game, was hitting .257/.368/.424 for Single-A Tampa, with eight home runs and 33 RBIs, stringing together a seven-game on-base streak at the end of June and beginning of July.

Another buzzworthy prospect from the D.R. announced for the American League is right-hander Brayan Bello, who made his Major League debut for the Red Sox on Wednesday. Before his start against the Rays at Fenway Park, Boston’s top pitching prospect was 10-4 with a 2.33 ERA between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, recording 114 strikeouts in 85 innings while moving up to No. 45 on the Top 100 list and No. 3 for the Red Sox.

Rounding out the Dominican contingent are catcher Yainer Diaz (Astros No. 14), infielder Jhonkensy Noel (Guardians No. 13), outfielder George Valera (MLB No. 33, Guardians No. 2), right-hander Eury Pérez (MLB No. 16, Marlins No. 1) and infielder Elly De La Cruz (MLB No. 50, Reds No. 2).

VENEZUELA
Venezuela will be represented by two of MLP Pipeline’s three top catching prospects, Francisco Álvarez and Diego Cartaya.

Álvarez, who jumped to No. 2 on the Top 100 list this week, was just promoted to Triple-A Syracuse after hitting 18 home runs with a .921 OPS in 67 games for Double-A Binghamton. Now 20, the Mets’ No. 1 prospect will be playing in his second Futures Game.

Cartaya, No. 14 on the Top 100 list, is the Dodgers’ top prospect and has enjoyed a successful jump from Single-A to High-A, where he was hitting .304/.429/.565 (.994 OPS) with five home runs in 24 games at age 20.

Also representing Venezuela will be Ezequiel Tovar, who created buzz with his bat as well as his glove in Rockies Spring Training, and has continued to hit at Double-A Hartford (.318/.386/.545 in 66 games) as Colorado’s No. 2 prospect.

Álvarez, Cartaya and Tovar will be accompanied by pitching prospect Wilmer Flores (Tigers No. 14, not to be confused with his older brother, the Giants infielder of the same name) and outfielder Jackson Chourio (MLB No. 38, Brewers No. 1).

CUBA
The highest-ranking prospect from Cuba slated for the Futures Game is Miguel Vargas, ranked No. 71 on the Top 100 list and No. 5 for the Dodgers. The third baseman has put up solid numbers at Triple-A Oklahoma City, slashing .292/.379/.498 with 13 home runs and 59 RBIs in 79 games.

Outfielder Oscar Colas, the White Sox No. 2 prospect (.311/.368/.479, seven homers at High-A) and right-hander Yosver Zulueta (Blue Jays No. 19, 3.70 ERA in 11 appearances across three levels) will also represent Cuba in Los Angeles.

ELSEWHERE
Hailing from Australia will be Rays infielder Curtis Mead (MLB No. 61, Rays No. 3, .294, 11 HR across Double-A and Triple-A), while Curaçao will be represented by infielder/outfielder Ceddanne Rafaela (Red Sox No. 26, .309/.351/.587, 16 HR between High-A and Double-A) and Canada by outfielder Denzel Clarke (A’s No. 14, .903 OPS, nine homers between Single-A and High-A).
