FRIDAY

7:30 p.m. ET – Licey vs. Estrellas
Before the World Series begins, Yankees fans can glimpse their future by watching Roderick Arias, New York’s No. 4 prospect, suit up for Estrellas. The talented 20-year-old infielder hit 13 home runs and stole 37 bases this season at Class A. Meanwhile, there is only one Top 100 prospect playing winter ball at the moment, and he’s playing for Tigres del Licey. That’s D-backs top prospect Jordan Lawlar (No. 9 overall), who has already homered twice in his first week playing for Licey.

9:30 p.m. ET – Mesa (BOS, CHC, LAA, OAK, TB) @ Peoria (ATL, MIA, MIL, SD, SEA)
If you look at the AFL’s hit leaderboard as of Wednesday, five of the top seven names are featured in this game. Peoria has Mariners top prospect Colt Emerson (T-1st) and Brewers No. 27 prospect Juan Baez (t-6th), while Mesa has Cubs No. 4 prospect Moises Ballesteros (4th), A’s No. 10 Denzel Clarke (t-4th) and Rays No. 10 Tre’ Morgan (T-6th). Padres No. 25 prospect Ryan Berget starts for Peoria against righty Luis Rujiano (Cubs).

SATURDAY

3:30 p.m. ET – Scottsdale (DET, NYM, PIT, SF, TOR) @ Surprise (BAL, CLE, HOU, KC, TEX)
Saguaros right-hander Josh Stephan (TEX No. 25) has been one of the most effective pitchers in the Fall League, holding opponents to a lone run over his first 9 ⅔ innings. He’ll toe the rubber in this matinee against righty Elijah Pleasants (Giants), who has racked up nine strikeouts in his first 5 ⅓ innings pitched this fall.

6:00 p.m. ET – Licey vs. Águilas
Watching Jordan Lawlar play isn't something the D-backs got to do much of this year, since their top prospect missed all but 23 games due to thumb and hamstring issues. But you can watch Lawlar this winter, and the way he's already playing, you don't want to miss him. Lawlar has been on a tear since suiting up for Licey, with nine hits -- including two homers -- through his first seven games.

6:30 p.m. ET – Salt River (AZ, COL, MIN, NYY, WSH) @ Peoria (ATL, MIA, MIL, SD, SEA)
Rafters right-hander Carlos Lagrange (Yankees) was really good in his AFL debut, and he’ll try to build off that in this start against Peoria righty Adam Maier (Braves). It’ll be no small task. The Javelinas lineup features the AFL’s hits leader (Emerson) and OPS leader (Baez) as of Thursday.

9:30 p.m. ET – Mesa (BOS, CHC, LAA, OAK, TB) @ Glendale (CIN, CWS, LAD, PHI, STL)
The Desert Dogs can mash. Glendale leads AFL teams in runs, RBIs, stolen bases and hitting, and second in hits, homers, on-base percentage and slugging. That’ll make them a challenging opponent for Mesa left-hander Samy Natera (Angels), who will be tasked with navigating a lineup featuring Colson Montgomery (No. 37 overall/CWS No. 3), Tim Elko (White Sox), Otto Kemp (PHI No. 28) and Edwin Arroyo (CIN No. 3).
