The Arizona Fall League rosters were announced yesterday.

The Royals will be sending six players and a coach to play for the Surprise Saguaros starting September 17th. Here are the players that will represent the Royals in Arizona:

Brewer Hicklen, OF
- Hicklen has had a phenomenal season in Wilmington and will wrap things up in “prospect finishing school” this fall. He’s hit .269/.371/.437/.808 with 14 HR, 12 2B, and 7 3B in 121 games in High-A this season. He figures to move to AA Northwest Arkansas to begin 2020.

Keller is shut down for the season but I did talk to him about how beneficial using Edgertronic has been for his development and how it could have helped lead to his increased velocity with the four seamer pic.twitter.com/l9VaLSIWt9

Travis Jones jutting well on his rehab assignment.

I legitimately believe Jones could be a big leaguer in some capacity if he wouldn’t hit the ball on the ground 50% of the time. Super athletic and a big guy. Has hit at every level. https://t.co/YmQk9xEUwc

Emmanuel Rivera is 3-3 with a trio of singles.

Michael Massey went 1-4 with HR #5 in a loss tonight for Burlington. He has battled some injuries but he’s been pretty good in spurts. I really think he’s gonna impress in the SALLY next year.

10 K for Charlie Neuweiler today in a 7 inning CG. 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB.

I don’t know what got into this kid but he’s been dynamite of late.
