Astros: Pitching prospects showcase talent in Arizona Fall League

The Arizona Fall League is a month underway, with the Championship Game scheduled one week from today in Scottsdale, Arizona. Three of the future pitching hopefuls for the Astros are participating, with Whitley and Thornton selected to play in the Fall Stars Game that took place last Saturday.

Forrest Whitley, Houston’s #2 and MLB Pipeline‘s #8 prospect have started five games for the Scottsdale Scorpions. Forrest is brandishing an ERA of 3.00, dropping to 1.69 against left-handed batters. He has yet to surrender a home run in the 17 hits allowed over 21 innings of work.
