Arizona Fall League Roundup: Brandon Belt Stays Hot

Before I get to the Monday AFL Roundup, here is what ESPN's Jason Grey wrote about Phillies bullpen arm Justin De Fratus on Monday:

Justin De Fratus, Philadelphia Phillies: De Fratus absolutely looks like a big league bullpen arm, with a 92-95 mph fastball that touched 96 mph once when I saw him, and good tilt on an 83-85 mph slider that can get strikeouts. A strong pitcher with a good frame who uses his lower half well, De Fratus does a good job finishing his pitches. De Fratus isn't far from a call-up and looks like he could fill a seventh- or eighth-inning role at the big league level, and from there anything can happen. Then again, he's also in an organization that left Scott Mathieson behind to dominate Triple-A hitters all year.

I wil be curious to see if Mathieson makes the 25 man roster out of spring training, as he has proved he can be a late inning pitcher in AAA.

Here's a look at the top performers from Monday's AFL action:
