The Arizona Fall League is underway, and the stars are already showing out. On this week’s Prospect Show, Adam Weinrib and Eric break down the early AFL standouts and take a closer look at how the latest Bowman Chrome market trends are shaping up a few weeks after release.

They discuss Esmerlyn Valdez’s power surge (two homers in two games) and his long-term outlook as a Rule 5–eligible boom-or-bust bat, Seaver King’s breakout week against top competition, and Hagen Smith’s dominant 4 Ks in three shutout frames. Plus, which other prospects have opened eyes early in Arizona?

Then, a Bowman Chrome check-in — which players are seeing price spikes (Cam Schlittler?), who still feels fairly valued, and who’s worth chasing right now on the hobby side.
