With most of the baseball world’s eyes turned towards the postseason this week, another fall MLB tradition got under way out in Arizona: The Arizona Fall League, where from now through November 10, six teams each formed by prospects from five different organizations will be giving some extra game action to those prospects. Games began on Monday.
The Orioles contingent in the AFL this year is playing for the Scottsdale Scorpions, alongside of prospects from the Angels, Atlanta, Giants, and Red Sox organizations. The Orioles sent three position players and four pitchers to Arizona for the league: outfielders Heston Kjerstad and Reed Trimble, infielder César Prieto, and pitchers Noah Denoyer, Nolan Hoffman, Easton Lucas, and Nick Richmond.
