The excitement is building as the Arizona Fall League (AFL) gears up for another season, running from October 6 to November 15. The Glendale Desert Dogs will be featuring a roster packed with talent, including 10 of Baseball America's Top 100 prospects.

Among these standout players are Kevin McGonigle, ranked No. 2, and Sebastian Walcott, sitting at No. 10. This year, the league is expanding its reach, with games slated to take place in Goodyear and a special tripleheader at Kino Sports Complex in Tucson on October 13.

The AFL serves as a crucial platform for injured players to regain their momentum and for others to prove their worth for a spot on the coveted 40-man roster. It’s a thrilling blend of potential and ambition, offering prospects a chance to refine their skills and impress scouts.

Last year’s Rookie of the Year favorite, Nick Kurtz, isn't the only name to watch—Braves catcher Drake Baldwin, White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery, and Brewers infielder Caleb Durbin all showcased their talents in the 2024 league, leaving fans eager for this year's newcomers.

Highlighting the Glendale Desert Dogs' lineup are exciting speedsters like Dodgers outfielder Kendall George, who has stolen an impressive 100 bases this season. Alongside him, Braves outfielder Patrick Clohisy, with 74 steals, and Josue De Paula, who swiped 32 bags during his time at High-A Great Lakes, promise to electrify the bases.

On the mound, keep an eye on Los Angeles right-hander Hyun-Seok Jang. His potential is sky-high, but his command can be unpredictable, making him a pitcher capable of both brilliance and chaos. If he nails down his control, Jang could emerge as one of the AFL's breakout stars this season.

As anticipation builds for the 2025 AFL season, all eyes will be on the Glendale Desert Dogs. Who will rise to the occasion and seize their moment in the spotlight? Only time will tell!
