Brief History of the Arizona Fall League

The Arizona Fall League was founded in 1992 mainly as a developmental league for top prospects. Major League Baseball created it as an offseason league in which they could monitor the players better than in winter leagues overseas. Each Arizona Fall League team is made up of several MLB teams, and each team must provide six players. Major League clubs hold a draft each August to determine which players who will go to the AFL. Most are AA and AAA players, but each team can choose one Class A player.
