The Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game is tonight. Get to know the rosters for both squads!
The Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game is an annual event that is fun for all to watch to see some of the next stars of the game. Last season, those watching got a chance to see Ronald Acuna dominate the AFL before coming out with an incredible rookie season for the Atlanta Braves. The year before, Gleyber Torres dominated the AFL and would have been a force for the 2017 Yankees if it weren’t for Tommy John surgery. Who will be the player to watch in 2018’s AFL that could explode in 2019?
The game will be tonight at 8 PM Eastern on MLB Network and MLB.com, and it is one of the few televised events of the Arizona Fall League, so this is a great opportunity for fans to see the top prospects competing against one another.
