Nick Gonzales, Ji-hwan Bae chosen for AFL Fall Stars Game

A pair of Pittsburgh Pirates Minor League prospects were named Wednesday to play in Saturday’s Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game.

Infielders Nick Gonzales, the Pirates’ No. 1 pick in the 2020 amateur draft, and Ji-hwan Bae, an international signee who was originally with the Atlanta Braves, both were selected to play for the West Division team.

The game will be played at 7 p.m. EST this Saturday, November 13 and will be televised on the MLB Network.

The 22-year-old Gonzales had a few rough patches in his first season of professional ball, as he was sidelined for a stretch with a broken pinky.
