Arizona Fall League: Mesa Solar Sox Week 1 update

The Arizona Fall League started last Monday and we’ve got a week of games to look back at. We will have regular updates on Mondays throughout the AFL season.

As a reminder, the Arizona Fall League is a league where minor league ballplayers can get more experience at a tougher level of competition. The AFL was designed for minor leaguers who have competed at the Double-A level or above, although there are exceptions to that rule.

There are six teams in the AFL and each team consists of players from five different teams. One of the things that players say that they like the best about the AFL is getting the chance to work with coaches and make friends with players from different organizations.
