The National League absolutely took down the American League 7-4 in the Fall Stars Game, and even though we didn’t see any Dodgers hitters out there, their pitching prospects Luke Fox and Brooks Auger totally showed out. These guys were throwing serious heat for the NL.
Fox and Auger Flashed Serious Stuff
Seriously, Fox and Auger almost had as many strikeouts as the *entire* AL pitching staff combined for the game. Think about that: these two Dodgers prospects punched out 5 hitters. The whole American League staff only got 6! That’s just wild. Fox actually got tagged with a blown save, giving up one hit and an unearned run, but he also struck out the side in the fifth inning. Auger came in during the seventh when the game was tied and just locked it down, working around a walk and punching out a couple batters for a clean frame. These guys are legit.
NL Arms Were On Another Level
The pitching disparity between the two leagues in this game was kinda shocking, right? The National League arms, man, they were just dealing. They struck out *three times* as many hitters as the AL, going 18 K’s to their measly 6. Every single one of the 11 NL pitchers who took the mound got at least one strikeout. For the AL? Only four out of their 11 pitchers could even manage that. It was a clinic from the NL side of the mound.
Confidan Takes Home MVP, Parker Struggles
Over on the hitting side, Yerlin Confidan, a Reds prospect, was the dude taking home the MVP honors for the National League. He doubled and walked in his two plate appearances, which was enough to earn him that hardware. And remember Aaron Parker from the Blue Jays, who stepped in for Chase Harlan in the Home Run Derby? He didn’t have the best game at the plate in the Fall Stars game itself. Three at-bats, no balls put in play: two strikeouts and one bases-loaded walk. Tough outing for him.
The NL came out on top 7-4, showing off some serious pitching talent, especially from guys like Fox and Auger. That kind of performance from young arms is definitely something to keep an eye on. What a game!
