The Arizona Fall League season may have come to a close, but a handful of young players more than made their mark. The league's annual award winners were unveiled Saturday night, and Miami Marlins outfield prospect Andrew Pintar was named Defensive Player of the Year.
The Arizona Diamondbacks were known to be looking for help in their bullpen, with Buster Olney from ESPN stating that the Diamondbacks were looking for left-handed relievers. Arizona may have gotten their man on Thursday night.
The 2026 season has been headlined by young players emerging, but some wily veterans have also had their day. As we head toward the end of the regular season, these 30 players stand out as the biggest surprises on their teams.
Three Diamondbacks minor leaguers received Player of the Week honors for April 22-28. Deyvison De Los Santos and Dylan File were named the Player and Pitcher of the Week for the Texas League while Andrew Pintar was Player of the Week in the Northwest League.
