AFL Update: Oct. 23, 2025
Despite the absence of Nationals relievers, the Scottsdale ‘pen was lit for eight runs in a 10-1 loss to Surprise.
Just two Washington prospects were in the Scorpions lineup:
- Seaver King was the DH and batted third. He walked once and struck out three times.
- Sam Petersen was in the #8 slot and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a whiff. He fielded two hits and had two putouts as the Scottsdale left fielder.
The Scorpions (8-5) will have another brutal 45-minute or so bus ride to Peoria to play the Javelinas (7-6) this afternoon.
Keith Law raved abotu Seaver King in his roundup of AFL hitters. I don’t have a direct link, but he said a Nats coach at the beginning of this season told him to pull the ball in the air more, but now in the AFL, he’s just hitting the way he did in college.
