Several Fisher Cats will begin play on Tuesday in the prestigious Arizona Fall League. Known as a finishing school for some of the game's top prospects, the Fall League features six teams with prospects from each major league team scattered over the Arizona desert. Each year, several players from the Fall League open the next season in the major leagues. This list includes players like Bryce Harper, Mike Trout, Ryan Howard, and many, many more.
