One benefit of playing in the Arizona Fall League is that players have a chance to raise their profile while competing with some of the most exciting prospects in the game. Scouts flock to the Scottsdale Scorpions games with excitement to watch the likes of the Mets’ Peter Alonso, the Astros’ Forrest Whitley, or the Reds’ Taylor Trammell, which gives some of their more modestly heralded (if heralded at all) teammates a chance to shine in front of the gathered industry.
Houston’s Abramaham Toro-Hernandez is one example this year of a player who is really taking advantage of that higher exposure.
