The annual Fall-Star Game, the Arizona Fall League’s personal All-Star showcase, took place on Saturday night, and two San Francisco Giants’ farmhands were involved. Two pitchers were among the postseason league’s top performers.
Chris Stratton, a right-hander who gained some big league experience last season, was the starter for the East team. In four starts in the AFL leading up to this game, Stratton pitched to a 3.94 ERA while going 2-1. In 16 innings he gave up one home run among his 23 hits allowed, and posted an outstanding 16:1 strikeout to walk ratio.
