<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s just over one week left in the Arizona Fall League season.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, this will be the penultimate Fall League wrap-up. We’ll look at how each of the eight players are doing as of November 2nd. We’ll start with the pitchers.</span></p>
<h2>Ricky Tiedemann:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tiedemann hasn’t pitched since we last wrote about the Fall League/Winter leagues. However, we’ll go over his AFL stats briefly. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 18 innings pitched, Tiedemann has a 2.50 ERA along with a 31.5 K% and an 11 BB%. He hasn’t pitched since October 20, and Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi revealed that he was shut down after four starts. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, that was a great Fall League showing for Tiedemann after an injury-riddled minor-league campaign, and he could play a big part with the Jays in 2024.</span></p>
<h2>C.J. Van Eyk:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After missing all of 2022 and most of 2023, Van Eyk has reminded everyone why he was picked in the second round of the 2020 draft.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So far in the AFL, he has a 2.70 ERA in 13.1 innings pitched, along with a 21.1 K% and a 14 BB%. The walk rate and strikeout rate probably aren’t where he wants them to be, but he’s still getting outs nonetheless.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Van Eyk’s last start was a tough one, finishing with a line of </span><b>2 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which jumped his ERA from 0.74 to the 2.70 he has now. He’ll have a crack at lowering that on Friday as Surprise will take on the Salt River Rafters, who hosted the Blue Jays last season.</span></p>
<h2>Trent Palmer:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like Van Eyk, Palmer underwent Tommy John surgery in recent times. The 24-year-old missed the second half of the 2022 season and much of the 2023 season after the operation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Unlike Van Eyk, Palmer has struggled in the Arizona Fall League, posting a 21.32 ERA in 6.1 innings pitched. Walks have been a struggle for the 2020 draftee, as he has a 23.3 BB% in those few appearances. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2024 season will be a big one for Palmer, as he’ll be fully healthy and will likely start in Double-A with Van Eyk and some other interesting prospects. </span></p>
<h2>Conor Larkin:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2021 draftee hasn’t pitched much in the Arizona Fall League, pitching just 2.1 innings and appearing in just three games. He has a 19.29 ERA in that stretch and hasn’t pitched since October 13. I think it’s safe to say he’s been shut down for the season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 24-year-old pitched with the High-A Vancouver Canadians this season, posting a 4.30 ERA and a 3.35 FIP in 46 innings pitched. Pitching exclusively as a reliever, Larkin struck out 29.5% of batters and walked 10.9% of them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s likely he’ll start the 2024 season in Double-A.</span></p>
<h2>Fitz Stadler:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Stadler has the third-highest ERA on the Surprise Saguaros, but has been solid aside from his first outing, in which he was lit up for a few runs. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">He has a 10.50 ERA in 6 innings pitched, striking out and walking the same amount of batters (21.9 K% and BB%).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Like Palmer and Van Eyk, Stadler was sent to Arizona due to missing time with an injury, missing all of the 2022 season and a large portion of the 2023 season. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 26-year-old pitched the majority of the 2023 season with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, posting a 4.08 ERA and a 4.11 FIP in 28.2 innings pitched, along with a 26.2 K% and a 14.6 BB%.</span></p>
<h2>Damiano Palmegiani:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you may have recently read here at Blue Jays Nation, Palmegiani will participate in the Arizona Fall League Home Run Derby this upcoming Saturday.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 23-year-old has had a fantastic fall, slashing .246/.360/.570 with four home runs in 89 plate appearances. Moreover, he has a 27 K% and a 12.4 BB%, which are similar numbers to his season numbers with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats and Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Expect Palmegiani to start the season with the Buffalo Bisons, and who knows, maybe he hits so well that he gets the Davis Schneider treatment in 2024.</span></p>
<h2>Dasan Brown:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From one Canadian to another, Brown has also had a pretty good fall.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The centre fielder is slashing .299/.360/.433 with a home in 75 plate appearances. He has a rather high K% of 29.3%, while only walking six times for an 8 BB%. Still, batting near .300 is no joke.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was a rough season for Brown, who slashed .218/.309/.315 in 463 plate appearances with the Vancouver Canadians. He had a mini-breakout in 2022 with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays and High-A Vancouver, slashing .283/.383/.420 with nine homers for a 132 wRC+.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, it’s far too early to give up on the 22-year-old outfielder, as all five tools could become plus or higher in the future.</span></p>
<h2>Will Robertson:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Robertson was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, and had a quiet but excellent season with the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 25-year-old outfielder slashed .245/.323/.488 with 19 homers, along with a 9.7 BB% and a 26.5 K% in 412 plate appearances. His 19 homers actually ranked as the fourth highest in the organization, behind Orelvis Martinez, Palmegiani, and Schneider.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s continued to excel in the Arizona Fall League, slashing .281/.468/.491 with three homers in 77 plate appearances, along with an even BB% and K% of 24.7%. Walks are high in the fall league, but walking 19 times in 77 plate appearances is just mind-numbingly crazy to me.</span></p>
<h2>What’s next:</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Arizona Fall League’s regular season wraps up on November 9. The following day is the Play-In Semifinals, before the AFL finals on November 11.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Surprise Saguaros are first in the league with a 15-10 record. So if they continue to win, they can automatically play in the finals, bypassing the Play-In game.</span></p>
