Q: What is the Arizona Fall League (AFL)? A: Major League Baseball created the Arizona Fall League in 1992 to serve as an off-season “graduate school” for top prospects. The AFL often is known as a showcase league because its players have the opportunity to display their skills for baseball scouts, general managers and farm directors. For baseball fans, it’s a 40-day Valley of the Sun homestand featuring many of baseball’s elite prospects. Q: What is the genesis of the Arizona Fall League? A: Long-time baseball executive, current special assistant to the president of the Arizona Diamondbacks, and Phoenix resident Roland Hemond is considered the “Architect of the Fall League.” His dream to create a six-week off-season league for baseball’s top prospects in Arizona each fall became reality when the Arizona Fall League began play in 1992 after he spent two years selling the concept to baseball’s hierarchy — first general managers, then owners. After veteran baseball front-office executive Mike Port shepherded the Fall League through its maiden voyage in 1992, former Cincinnati Reds traveling secretary and Triple-A Columbus Clippers’ executive Steve Cobb was hired as the Fall League’s director. Q: Who oversees the Arizona Fall League? A: Major League Baseball owns and operates the Arizona Fall League. Cobb has been the executive director since 1993. Major League Baseball’s Arizona Fall League oversight committee is comprised of four club front office executives: Josh Byrnes (Padres), Michael Hill (Marlins), Terry Ryan (Twins), Mark Shapiro (Indians). Q: How many players have played in the Arizona Fall League? A: Over 3,500 players have appeared in the Arizona Fall League. Over 2,100 have reached the major leagues, meaning over 60 percent of players assigned to the Fall League reach the big leagues. Q: How are the teams assembled? A: Each major league organization sends seven prospects to the Arizona Fall League. Five-organization groupings comprise the six AFL teams. Q: What contributions has the Fall League made to baseball off the field? A: Thirty-one former AFL managers and players have become major-league managers, including 10 during the 2012 season — Dusty Baker (Reds), Tony DeFrancesco (Astros), Fredi Gonzalez (Braves), Mike Matheny (Cardinals), Don Mattingly (Dodgers), Bob Melvin (Athletics), Brad Mills (Astros), Ron Roenicke (Brewers), Mike Scioscia (Angels), Eric Wedge (Mariners) and Ron Washington (Rangers). There have been 157 former AFL managers and coaches who have coached in the major leagues, including 76 in 2012. Ten ex-AFL trainers were head trainers in the major leagues in 2012. Thirty-eight umpires were in the major leagues in 2012 as well. Fifty-four percent of 2011 MLB umpires received specialized training in the Arizona Fall League before reaching the major leagues. And, 86 former AFL administrators are present or past full-time employees in the baseball industry. Q: What impact has the Arizona Fall League had on Major League Baseball? A: As the Arizona Fall League stages its 20th anniversary season in 2012, the contribution the league has made to major-league baseball is undeniable. Approximately 60 percent of Fall League players — over 2,100 — have become major leaguers, including over 68 players from a year ago who reached the big leagues in 2012. There were 397 former Fall Leaguers on MLB Opening Day rosters in 2012. There have been 182 ex-Fall Leaguers named to major league all-star teams, including 37 in 2012. Former Fall Leaguers also have won numerous MLB awards, including 10 MVPs (Ryan Braun, Jason Giambi, Josh Hamilton, Ryan Howard, Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Dustin Pedroia, Albert Pujols, Jimmy Rollins, Joey Votto), 3 Cy Young Awards (Chris Carpenter, Roy Halladay, Brandon Webb), 3 World Series MVPs, 8 All-Star Game MVPs, 22 rookies-of-the-year, 9 batting champions, 12 hits leaders, 8 RBI leaders, 7 home-run leaders, 11 stolen-base leaders, 55 Silver Sluggers, and 52 Gold Gloves. Q: What is the league’s schedule? A: The six AFL teams each play a six-week, 32-game schedule from October 9-November 17. The seventh annual “Rising Stars Game” will be played at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick at 5:10 p.m. on Saturday, November 3. The league championship game is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. on Saturday, November 17 at Scottsdale Stadium. Q: What is the Robinson Rule? A: No game will exceed 11 innings — the “Robinson Rule.” Games tied after 11 innings will be considered suspended. They will not be made up but statistics will count. Q: When are daily start times? A: First pitch for day games is 12:35 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. for night contests. — more — What Is The Arizona Fall League?/add 1-1-1-1 Q: Is the designated hitter rule employed in the Arizona Fall League? A: Yes. Q: Who is eligible to play in the Arizona Fall League? A: Roster size is established at 35 players per team. Each major-league organization is required to provide seven players subject to the following eligibility requirements: • All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible provided they are on Double-A rosters no later than August 15. • Each organization is permitted to send two Class A Advanced-level players in addition to the current allowance of two “A-exempt” players (who are under contract as of August 15). Foreign players are allowed as long as the player is not on his native country’s primary protected player list. • No players with more than one year active or two years total of credited major- league service as of August 31 (including major league disabled list time) are eligible except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft. • Each team is allotted 20 pitchers but only 15 are designated “eligible” each game day. Q: Do Fall League rosters include foreign-born players? A: The league will include players from 11 foreign countries — Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Curacao, Dominican Republic, Netherlands, South Africa, South Korea, Taiwan and Venezuela — in addition to the territory of Puerto Rico.

  • Measuring Baseball's Heartbeat: the Hidden Harms of Wearable
    MEASURING BASEBALL’S HEARTBEAT: THE HIDDEN HARMS OF WEARABLE TECHNOLOGY TO PROFESSIONAL BALLPLAYERS † JOHN A. BALLETTA ABSTRACT After two-and-a-half decades of labor peace in Major League Baseball, storm clouds of a player strike are brewing as the operating Competitive Bargaining Agreement comes under fire. That same CBA includes Attachment 56, the most expansive allowance of wearable technology of the four major American professional sports. While the privacy of the athletes’ data might be the foremost concern under Attachment 56, there are a myriad of untapped arenas involving the use and dissemination of data from wearables, including issues in good-faith contracting and contract and trade negotiations. After situating the wearables provisions in the context of the CBA and describing the approved technologies, this Note will identify three infrequently discussed problems in Attachment 56 before positing ways around these concerns. INTRODUCTION On December 1, 2016, Major League Baseball (“MLB”) owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association (the “Players Association”) agreed to a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) for the 2017-2021 seasons.1 Just over a year later, two-time All-Star reliever Pat Neshek agreed to a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Phillies.2 Neshek was thirty-seven years old,3 about a † Duke University School of Law, J.D. expected May 2020; Princeton University, A.B., June 2016. 1 Richard Justice, Peace & Glove: Owners, Players Reach CBA Deal, MLB (Dec. 1, 2016), https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-owners-players-agree-to-new- labor-deal/c-209969472. 2 Alec Nathan, Report: Pat Neshek, Phillies Agree to Contract After July Trade to Rockies, BLEACHER REPORT (Dec.

  • 2021 SWB Railriders Media Guide
    2021 swb railriders 2021 swb railriders triple-a information On February 12, 2021, Major League Baseball announced its new plan for affiliated baseball, with 120 Minor League clubs officially agreeing to join the new Professional Development League (PDL). In total, the new player development system includes 179 teams across 17 leagues in 43 states and four provinces. Including the AZL and GCL, there are 209 teams across 19 leagues in 44 states and four provinces. That includes the 150 teams in the PDL and AZL/GCL along with the four partner leagues: the American Association, Atlantic League, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The long-time Triple-A structure of the International and Pacific Coast Leagues have been replaced by Triple-A East and Triple-A West. Triple-A East consists on 20 teams; all 14 from the International League, plus teams moving from the Pacific Coast League, the Southern League and the independent Atlantic League. Triple-A West is comprised of nine Pacific Coast League teams and one addition from the Atlantic League. These changes were made to help reduce travel and allow Major League teams to have their affiliates, in most cases, within 200 miles of the parent club (or play at their Spring Training facilities). triple-a clubs & affiliates midwest northeast southeast e Columbus (Cleveland Indians) Buffalo (Toronto Blue Jays) Charlotte (Chicago White Sox) Indianapolis (Pittsburgh Pirates) Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia Phillies) Durham (Tampa Bay Rays) a Iowa (Chicago Cubs) Rochester (Washington Nationals) Gwinnett (Atlanta Braves) s Louisville (Cincinnati Reds) Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre (New York Yankees) Jacksonville (Miami Marlins) Omaha (Kansas City Royals) Syracuse (New York Mets) Memphis (St.

    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).
