The Arizona Fall League :
The Phillies group is playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs. The league all-star game was played last night, RHP Griff McGarry was the Phillies lone representative - he pitched 1/3 of an inning - 1 R, 2 H - faced three batters - yielded a home run to Thayron Liranzo (Tigers organization). In four AFL regular season games (3 starts) McGarry has posted a 3.12 ERA in 8.2 IP with 11 K’s and 9 walks.
The Glendale team has a 14-12 record to date and is tied for second place in a tightly bunched standings race. The regular season winner gets an automatic placement into the championship game while the teams who finish second and third in the six team league play a one game playoff to determine who also reaches the championship game. The Surprise Saguaros have won the last two league titles and are leading the league once again this season with a 16-8 record. The regular season concludes on 11/14 with the singular playoff game slated for 11/15 and the championship for 11/16.
Infielder Otto Kemp has had a very strong AFL season - he’s posted a .289/.460/.733 slash line and a 1.194 OPS in 63 plate appearances with 6 home runs and 22 RBIs - adding that data to his regular season minor league totals with the Phillies he has 22 home runs and 88 RBIs for the year in 592 plate appearances with a .285 batting average (139 for 487), outstanding year for the young man!
RHP Andrew Painter has also stood out - he has pitched in five games (all starts) and has a 2.08 ERA in 13 IP with 12 K’s and just 2 walks. He’s posted a stellar 0.769 WHIP and has shown both the velocity and command displayed before his TJ surgery - very exciting and encouraging effort!
Outfielder Gabriel Rincones Jr had a great game on November 7th going 4 for 4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI against Surprise. After a slow start to the AFL season he’s raised his batting average to .266 and his OBP to .360.
