Red Sox top pitching prospect Bryan Mata will play for the World Team at the All-Star Futures Game on July 15 at Nationals Park.

The game is at 4 p.m. and will air on MLB Network.

Mata, a native of Venezuela, just turned 19 years old in May. The righty features a fastball, curveball and changeup.

He's 5-2 with a 3.14 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 15 starts for High-A Salem. As noted on MassLive.com earlier today, his walk rate is high. He has walked 55 compared to striking out 56 in 66 innings. But at 19, there's still plenty of time for development. The opposition is batting only .219 against him.

He went 5-6 with a 3.74 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 17 starts for Low-A Greenville last year.
