32 Northwoods League Alums Selected to the 2026 Arizona Fall League
AFL Games began last week in Arizona
 
Rochester, Minn. - Major League Baseball announced their 2026 Arizona Fall League Rosters, with thirty-two Northwoods League Alumni being selected to this prestigious prospect showcase. Prior NWL alums like Bryson Stott (Wisconsin Rapids ’17), Caleb Durbin (Rockford ’19, Fond du Lac ’20 & ’21), Drake Baldwin (K-Town ’20, Madison ’21) and Jakob Marsee (Great Lakes ’20, Kokomo ’21, Traverse City ’22) have all participated in the AFL within the last five years and have gone on to star in Major League Baseball.
 
There are six teams in the Arizona Fall League: the Scottsdale Scorpions, Mesa Solar Sox, Salt River Rafters, Glendale Desert Dogs, Peoria Javelinas and Surprise Saguaros. These club names were picked by Major League Baseball as reflective of the Southwestern desert traditions in the state.
 
Each September, Major League clubs determine the players who will go to Arizona. Each Major League Baseball team sends seven top prospects to the Arizona Fall League. The games are played in six total ballparks that house MLB Spring Training, with select events in additional ballparks.
 
The roots of the Arizona Fall League go back three decades, when the Major Leagues wanted to create an easily accessed offseason league. With the Arizona Fall League, managers, coaches, scouts, and league officials can be under direct guidance of league and club personnel in league-affiliated ballparks and premier training facilities. The AFL is designed to serve as the ‘finishing school’ of the minor leagues for players, coaches, umpires, and aspiring employees.
