Morning Report: Looking Back at the Players Sent to the AFL Last Year

The Pittsburgh Pirates sent eight players to the Arizona Fall League last year, five pitchers and three position players. During league play, the Pirates saw good results from four of their pitchers, while Thomas Harlan struggled in a starting role. Elias Diaz held his own at the plate, but Dan Gamache and Josh Bell each had a tough time. While Diaz isn't exactly struggling at the plate with a .713 OPS, the other two players have been the better hitters this season. I figured I'd take a look at how some of these players are doing now and how the AFL experience may have helped them.
