We’ve just finished week one of the Arizona Fall League and the Mesa Solar Sox are off to a great start with a 4-2 record, which is good enough for first place in the league.
In case you’ve forgotten, the Arizona Fall League (AFL) is an end-of-the-season league where minor leaguers can get in some extra work after their regular season. (Or in the case of Jeff McNeil, a major leaguer playing a injury rehab game before rejoining the Mets for the National League Championship Series. Kyle Schwarber famously did that in 2016 as well.) It also serves as a way for teams to get one last look at players before roster decisions are made over the winter.
