The 2025 Arizona Fall League officially wraps up Friday with the championship between the Surprise Saguaros and Peoria Javelinas.
But for nine White Sox prospects, AFL play ended Wednesday as the Glendale Desert Dogs lost 8-7 to the Javelinas. Despite the loss, it was another productive night at the place for White Sox prospects Braden Montgomery, Sam Antonacci and Caden Connor, who accounted for five of the team’s 10 hits and four of their seven runs.
Recognized for their high-level performance during the AFL, Montgomery, Antonacci and Hagen Smith were chosen to participate in the Fall Stars Game. Smith, No. 5 among White Sox prospects, pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts, a hit and a walk. Montgomery, the team’s top prospect, walked twice and scored, while Antonacci provided the game-winning sacrifice fly in a 5-4 win.
Here’s a statistical recap of how the nine White Sox prospects performed in the AFL, along with quotes from Smith and Antonacci.
