Watch top prospects in Arizona Fall League playoff action

The 34th edition of the Arizona Fall League has entered the home stretch, and now the six-week prospect showcase wraps up with three days of playoffs to crown a champion.

All six teams are headed to the postseason, with the two teams with the best records -- the Surprise Saguaros (18-10) and the Peoria Javelinas (17-11) -- earning first-round byes. The semifinals and championship will be held at Peoria Sports Complex in Peoria.

Here’s the complete schedule breakdown for the playoffs. All games will be available on MLB.com and MLB.TV, with the championship game also broadcast on MLB Network with Gregg Caserta, Dan O'Dowd and MLB Pipeline's Jim Callis on the call.

Thursday, Nov. 12: Quarterfinals

Glendale 17, Scottsdale 5 -- Gameday | Watch
After being held without a hit through the front five frames, the Desert Dogs offense roared to life en route to its win over the Scorpions, setting the record for most runs in a Fall League playoff game since at least 2005. Charles Davalan (LAD 6/MLB 79) opened the scoring with a bloop RBI single and finished with three RBIs as he and Eduardo Quintero (LAD 2/MLB 15) combined to reach base eight times. In total, six members of the lineup collected multiple RBIs, including Tate Southisene (ATL 3/MLB 58), Dillon Lewis (MIA 11), Owen Carey (ATL 21) and Jhonny Severino (PIT 28). Miguel Mendez (SF 16), acquired in the Robbie Ray deal with the Padres, tossed four no-hit frames with six strikeouts, averaging 98 mph on his four-seam fastball. Jett Williams (MIL 10) hammered a two-run homer, walked and added a stolen base to cap his first season in the Milwaukee organization.

Salt River 5, Mesa 2 -- Gameday | Watch
After Salt River finished the regular season with a 6.55 ERA, three of its pitchers combined to allow just two runs on nine hits and cruised to an easy victory. Jarlin Susana (WSH 4/MLB 66), the Fall League’s top mound prospect, started the game for the Rafters and worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings. He threw nine fastballs clocked at 102 mph and struck out five batters, one with his heater and four with 86-87 mph sweepers. Stu Flesland (Rockies) followed by permitting one run in 3 1/3 frames before John West (D-backs) closed it out with three innings of one-run ball. Third baseman Kyle DeBarge (Twins) led Salt River’s offensive attack with two hits and three RBI.

Friday: Semifinals (Peoria Sports Complex)

Glendale (ATL, CWS, LAD, MIA, PIT) vs. Surprise (CLE, KC, NYM, PHI, TEX), 3:30 p.m. ET
After putting up 17 runs in the quarterfinals, Glendale’s Top 100 prospect trio of Eduardo Quintero (LAD 2/MLB 15), Tate Southisene (ATL 3/MLB 58) and Charles Davalan (LAD 6/MLB 79) lines up against Surprise for a chance to head to the Championship. The Saguaros have won three of the past four Fall League titles and have a loaded roster once again. There’s plenty of right-handed pop with infielder Sebastian Walcott (TEX 1/MLB 8), while a pair of athletic Royals outfielders -- 17-year-old phenom Angeibel Gomez (KC 2/MLB 76) and 2026 first-rounder Zion Rose (KC 6) -- add speed to the lineup.

Salt River (AZ, COL, MIN, NYY, WSH) vs. Peoria (BAL, CIN, SD, SEA, STL), 8:30 p.m. ET
Demetrio Crisantes (AZ 1/MLB 84) rose to the occasion to boost Salt River to victory in the quarterfinals, collecting two knocks and a walk, while scoring twice. The Arizona native has been a prototypical leadoff hitter for the Rafters and combines with Dax Kilby (NYY 1/MLB 78) to form a strong one-two punch. The duo’s next test will be the Javelinas, who possess some of the top power bats on the circuit. In addition to 2024 first-rounder Ike Irish (BAL 5/MLB 95), Peoria had three participants in the eight-player Fall League Home Run Derby field, with runner-up Tai Peete (STL 17), Alex McCoy (SD 26) and Fall Stars Game MVP Yerlin Confidan (Reds).

Saturday: Championship (Peoria Sports Complex)

TBD vs. TBD, 8 p.m. ET
