The 2019 Arizona Fall League is about two-thirds of the way through its six-week season. Seven players from each MLB team combine to form a total of six AFL squads, with the A’s contingent suiting up for the Mesa Solar Sox, and one of those Oakland youngsters is putting on quite a show. He’s arguably been the best hitter in the league so far, and at the very least he’s easily been the best slugger.
After scuffling in the minors for the last two years, outfielder Greg Deichmann is breaking out on the national stage. The A’s drafted Deichmann in the 2nd round in 2017, with the 43rd overall pick, which isn’t a can’t-miss draft pedigree but is still high enough to be notable.
