After one week of play in the Arizona Fall League, several of the under-the-radar players we featured last week are off to strong starts. Heading the charge is whose 1.725 OPS leads the league. Hes one of five hitters with a pair of dingers and leads with six extra base hits. Hes recorded four walks to two strikeouts and added four stolen bases. is also among the top ten hitters while arguably turned in the best appearance among the pitchers. He went three frames and recorded seven strikeouts. Lets see who else merits a look. Five Big Hype Prospects , 20, 2B/3B, CHC (A+/AA) 363 PA, 4 HR, 16 SB, .287/.364/.391 Triantos spent much of the 2023 campaign in High-A. My contacts have long liked the 2020 draftee as a breakout candidate, but his in-game power output remains below expectations. Theres late bloomer talk as a result. Bear in mind, weve grown a bit spoiled with precocious players who arent yet of legal drinking age. On the defensive side, theres are concerns he wont stick at second base. His bat might not work in a corner role. Triantos has a 1.230 OPS in 16 AFL plate appearances. , 21, P, TOR (CPX/A/AA/AAA) 44 IP, 16.77 K/9, 4.70 BB/9, 3.68 ERA One of the top prospects in the AFL, Tiedemann is drawing extra work after managing only 44 regular season innings. Those regular season frames were among the best in the Jays system he led their entire farm in several ERA estimators. The bulk of the action came in Double-A where a high walk rate, BABIP, and low left on base rate led to a 5.06 ERA. Tiedemann is a candidate to make the 2024 Blue Jays, but its also likely hell have his workload carefully managed. Role: tbd. Through one AFL start, he worked five innings and allowed one run on three hits and three walks with seven strikeouts. , 22, SP, STL (AA) 58.1 IP, 10.6 K/9, 2.3 BB/9, 4.94 ERA Like Tiedemann, Roby is getting extra work in the AFL due to mi sed time during the regular season. After being traded at the deadline, the right-hander pitched impre sively in four starts for the Cardinals. His AFL outing consisted of three shutout innings. He allowed one hit with five strikeouts. He features a repertoire of four above-average pitches led Marquese Chriss Jersey by an excellent curveball. FanGraphs drops a comp. Personally, I smell a whiff of . Hes trending high floor, high ceiling as a prospect. Notably, the Cardinals have struggled to finish their pitching prospects. Their matriculated pitchers like and often show little understanding of pitch design. Even took an instant step forward upon leaving the Cardinals. Its unclear if this is a persistent organizational failure or pure happenstance. , 21, SS, OAK (A+/AA) 545 PA, 10 HR, 13 SB, .275/.353/.411 While most facets of his game remain a work in progre s, Muncy appears to be trending toward some form of big league future. The 2021 first-rounder made considerable strides with his contact rate during the 2023 campaign. Scouts mostly view him as a utility guy in the making, although theres still plenty of time for him to develop the game power and defensive consistency nece sary to serve as a regular. His AFL season is off to a splashy start with a 1.009 OPS in 18 plate appearances. , 23, 3B, SD (AA) (A/A+/AA) 551 PA, 23 HR, 22 SB, .308/.393/.538 Since their minor league affiliates skew hitter-friendly, the Padres have a knack for producing exciting-looking position players who fade on the approach run to the Majors. Succe s stories like tend to be the exception rather than the rule. Pauley didnt have much of a draft pedigree when he was selected in 2022, but hes since developed a reputation as a guy who gets the job done despite unconventional hitting mechanics. A left-handed hitting corner fielder with an extreme pull approach, he might reach the Majors as a carefully managed platoon man the kind of player favored by teams like the Brewers, Rays, and Giants. Three More , MIL (24) : Acquired in the trade, Seminaris is Rule 5 eligible this offseason. Hes playing for a roster spot in Milwaukee or elsewhere. The soft-to sing southpaw is off to a good start in the AFL. He worked four scorele s innings with one hit and seven strikeouts. , DET (21) : One of the fastest-rising pitching prospects, Jobe is rounding out a season that saw him throw about 20 fewer innings than 2022. Since Jobe could be a midseason consideration for the Tigers, his workload is of obvious concern. His AFL debut consisted of four shutout innings with two hits, two walks, and four strikeouts. , CLE (22) : DeLauter is the current AFL RBI leader. Like many a Guardians outfield prospect, DeLauter rarely whiffs. His awkward-looking swing has no analogs in the Majors. It looks a bit like a stumbling-drunk . While credited with plus raw power, its unclear if his bat will play against stiffer competition. Did I mi s a detail or nuance? DM me on Twitter @BaseballATeam to suggest corrections. E-40 Jersey
