ACL Championship? ✅

AFL Championship? ✅

It's a beautiful thing and a fantastic set of seasons in Arizona. Love that Yeager got an opportunity to make his mark! Here's hoping he stays healthy and can pitch a full season.

That's right. Mr. Clarke finally getting recognition. 'Bout time. Hard to not absolutely love a guy who just shows up every day ready to play; clearly works on his body and his game; and is pretty much always available.

For a guy who led the NCAAs in HRs his senior year, features prodigous walk-rates, and has never posted a below-average wRC+ in the minors, AND plays for a franchise whose fanbase clamors for a prototypical first base prospect, I'm surprised it took a huge year in the AFL for Wes Clarke to garner attention around here and elsewhere.

I'm not meaning to suggest that he's some kind of special prospect or anything, but his path has always kind of reminded me of Mitch Haniger's.
