PHOENIX- The Arizona Fall League has announced its NFP Hitter and Pitcher of the Week for games from Nov. 10- Nov. 16.
Hitter of the Week: Peoria Javelinas C Alfredo Duno (CIN)
Cincinnati’s Alfredo Duno slashed .267/.353/1.067 with a league-leading four home runs across four games. He also led the league in total bases (16) and RBI (9), while ranking third in slugging percentage (.353). MLB Pipeline’s No. 48 overall prospect and No. 2 Reds prospect launched his four home runs across nine plate appearances, including a three-home run game in the Javelinas’ AFL Semifinal win over Scottsdale. Since at least 2005, it is the first three-home run game and first six-RBI game in the AFL postseason.
Pitcher of the Week: Surprise Saguaros RHP Trenton Denholm (CLE)
Cleveland’s Trenton Denholm tossed four hitless, scoreless innings against Mesa in Surprise’s AFL Semifinal win on Thursday, Nov. 13. The performance helped the Saguaros to their sixth straight AFL Championship Game. He was the only AFL pitcher to toss four innings without allowing a hit and one of just three without allowing a run. The 14th-round pick in 2021 out of UC Irvine retired 10 straight batters to begin the game, tossing 24 of 36 pitches for strikes. He struck out two compared to one walk.
