Davis, 22, was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft, and is currently rated by MLB Pipeline as the Pirates' top prospect and No. 19 overall.
He began the season with Class High-A Greensboro but was quickly promoted to Double-A Altoona in May. A slight fracture in his wrist sidelined him shortly after his promotion, but he returned to game action on June 10.
On the year, he is hitting .268 with an .882 OPS and seven home runs over 183 plate appearances.
Davis will be the first catcher to represent the Pirates' organization at the Futures Game since Elias Diaz in 2015.
Burrows, 22, entered the year as the Pirates' No. 7 prospect, according to Baseball America. He started the season with Altoona, and was promoted to Class AAA Indianapolis on June 16.
He has allowed eight runs in his 12 innings with Indianapolis. In Altoona, he went 4-2 with a 2.94 ERA and 69 strikeouts over 52 innings.
Burrows spoke to DK Pittsburgh Sports earlier this year about his success and his breakout pitch, a changeup.
