Tommy Troy Continues Strong AFL Stretch

In the first week of the Arizona Fall League, Tommy Troy was in a funk. The Diamondbacks’ 2023 first-rounder was 1-for-25 after six games. After nine games, he’s 10-for-39, meaning he’s racked up nine hits in his last 14 at-bats. On Oct. 17, he collected three hits and was a single shy of the cycle. The next day, he was 4-for-5 with a double. After two days off, Troy was back in the Salt River lineup on Sunday and collected a pair of doubles in four plate appearances. The offensive outburst has jolted him into a four-way tie for second place among the AFL’s doubles leaders, three behind Mariners shortstop Colt Emerson for the top spot.
