"With Tropical Storm Priscilla bearing down on Arizona, it was a shortened opening week for the Arizona Fall League. Glendale only played three of their scheduled six games, but that was still plenty of time for Patrick Clohisy to make a huge mark. Fall Stats: 1 G, 1-4, 2B, 2 BB, RBI, .250/.500/.500 It took a couple of games to get Alvarez's debut in the fall league, and it wasn't the greatest game for him at the plate."
"He, of course, showed off his eye at the plate by drawing a couple of walks but his contact quality was poor and he had a couple of strikeouts to go along with the weak contact. Alvarez really struggled with fastballs, whiffing on three of his five swings at them and making weak contact the one time he did put one in play."
"Buchanan actually had a terrific seventh inning, setting down the side in order with a weak fly out and two swinging strikeouts. His next inning unfortunately went off the rails as he battled a combination of poor execution and bad luck which turned into three runs and only one out recorded. He left too many fastballs and sliders over the middle of the plate in that inning,"
Tropical Storm Priscilla shortened the Arizona Fall League opening week, limiting Glendale to three games. Patrick Clohisy emerged as a major offensive contributor, reaching safely in multiple appearances and producing hits, walks, and stolen bases. Alvarez displayed strong plate discipline with multiple walks and a first-inning bloop double, but he struggled with contact quality and fastballs. One reliever recorded 1.1 innings with four hits and three earned runs. Buchanan tossed a spotless seventh inning but surrendered three runs in his next outing after leaving pitches over the middle, contributing to seven runs allowed by Braves pitchers.
