Fans who want to watch some of baseball’s top prospects in Arizona Fall League action from afar are getting their wish. For the first time in Fall League history, the developmental circuit is streaming almost all of its games — and for free.
Other than two games broadcast on MLB Network (the Nov. 6 Fall Stars Game and the Nov. 12 championship game) and a pair of tripleheaders (Oct. 15 at Chase Field and Oct. 22), all Fall League contests will be streamed.
The brainchild of legendary executive Roland Hemond, the AFL has sent more than 3,000 players to the big leagues since its inception in 1992. Roughly 60 percent of all Fall Leaguers have reached the Majors, including Hall of Famers Roy Halladay, Derek Jeter and Mike Piazza and current stars such as Sandy Alcantara, Nolan Arenado, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bryce Harper, Aaron Judge, Max Scherzer and Mike Trout.
