Arizona Fall League

About Arizona Fall League

The Arizona Fall League is a minor league baseball league which operates during the fall in Arizona, United States at five spring training complexes.

Each August, Major League Baseball clubs hold a position draft to determine the players who will go to Arizona. Most are Double-A and Triple-A Minor League players. Each club can opt to send one player considered a Single-A player. Only one foreign player is allowed, but only if that player does not come from a region that participates in winter ball. The league is designed for these prospects to refine their skills and perform in game settings in front of major and minor league baseball scouts and team executives, who are in attendance at almost every game. Play begins shortly after the end of MLB's regular season in early October, and ends in mid-November.

The Arizona Fall League teams are not exclusive affiliates of any one team; instead, each Major League team provides six players who team up to fill the 30-man roster of each team. MLB teams also send coaches. The affiliations generally change every year.
