AZL Brewers tooling up for Championship Run

AZL Brewers look like Early Favorite


For people who are unfamiliar with the Arizona League, it can sometimes be a little unfair.  But when you draft like the Milwaukee Brewers did in 2014, nobody in Maryvale(or Wisconsin) will complain. With the AZL Brewers set to open on June 20th, they recently assigned 9 of their recent draft picks to the AZL. Below you can find a look at all 9; I will go in order of how they were drafted.

The Brewers orginization sent picks their CA, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 27th, 30th, 33rd, 34th, & 35th round picks.  The Arizona league's toughest foe is the heat. Games start at 7 PM but, most of the time Temps are still in the 100's. Players need to prepare for the hot weather but, if they can adapt it can be a hitters league. 

***The players listed below will be joined by a composite of 1st, 2nd & 3rd year players.  No player with more than 3 years expierience may play in the AZL, unless on a rehab assignment or the player is an international signing. Often times Internationl signings will join the AZL on their way to other minor leagues.

2023 Minor League - ACL(AZ Complex League)

The Only Arizona Complex League Blog First Pitch is Monday June 5th! The 2023 ACL kicks off another season and the 2023 campaign rolls out this evening. I am feverishly trying to get this site/blog updated and have some current articles. The talent that will be playing this year is going to be pretty close to what was seen last year. The rosters are loaded up with young international prosepcts. Most played a few seasons in the Dominican Summer League under the auspices of their major league club. If you follow the mlb draft, it will be held in July, just like last year. There are a number of reasons why it was moved. I could give a long rant about why it made sense to move it but, I digress. In my opinion it should have stayed in June. The most exciting thing about the ACL was, you could see a 1st rd pick hit his first professional HR, or a pitcher throw their first professional strike out. With the draft moving...

Arizona Fall League Review: Josh Bell (Pittsburgh Pirates)

Josh Bell Pittsburgh Pirates Organization Highest level reached: AA (Photo: Jake Rashkow) (Photo: Jake Rashkow) For as highly touted as Josh Bell is amongst the experts like Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, he did not deliver in his performance at the Arizona Fall League. Bell hit .214, 0 HR, 7 RBI, and 8 XBH, with 12 BB and 13 K. Bell played in 23 of the 31 games that the AFL provides but his showing put him in the bottom third of players in the League. Bell is a Switch Hitter, and it is hard to say which side he performed better from. Bell hit for a lower AVG from the Right but, this is the side he acquired all of his Walks. In addition, Bell totaled 11 of his 13 strikeouts from the right. So, you can decide but, it seems if he can improve his discipline from the right, Bell could be a really explosive switch hitter in the future considering he hit .273 from the left. Bell is the # 29 Overall prospect according to MLB.com and he will probably spend most of the 2015 in AAA ...
