The rosters are set for the 2017 Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game as Yankees No. 23 prospect Billy McKinney and Royals No. 11 Nicky Lopez were named the winners of the Fall Stars Final 2 Fan Vote.
With the addition of McKinney and Lopez, the East and West divisions of the AFL will each send 26 of their most talented players -- including 10 members of MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospects -- to the league's premier event.
:: 2017 Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game ::
The 12th edition of the Fall Stars Game will be held on Saturday at 5 p.m. local time/8 p.m. ET at Salt Rivers Field and will be broadcast on MLB Network and streamed on MLB.com.
McKinney barely edged out teammate and No. 78 overall prospect Estevan Florial in the voting, along with Angels No. 3 prospect Matt Thaiss. Playing first base instead of his regular outfield position, McKinney is slashing .310/.373/.500 for the Scottsdale Scorpions with one home run in 42 at-bats.
Known for his quick left-handed swing and advanced approach at the plate, McKinney is making the most of his first appearance in the AFL. He had perhaps his best statistical season in 2017 between Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Columbus, slashing .277/.338/.483 with a career-high 16 home runs.
Lopez topped a pair of power hitters in the voting for the West: Indians No. 3 prospect Bobby Bradley and Rangers No. 11 prospect Yanio Perez. Lopez is among the league leaders in batting average (.385), on-base percentage (.439) and slugging percentage (.538) while playing shortstop for the Surprise Saguaros.
Lopez has soft hands and a strong arm defensively and is known for his above-average speed and contact-based approach at the plate from the left side. Between Class A Advanced Wilmington and Double-A Northwest Arkansas, he hit .279/.348/.356 with eight triples and 21 stolen bases during the regular season.
