Cubs Prospect Jeimer Candelario Voted into AFL Fall Stars Game

November 4, 2015 6:30 pm By Neil 10 Comments

There will be three Cubs’ prospects on the East Division squad in the Arizona Fall League’s Fall Stars Game. Jeimer Candelario was voted into the Fall Stars Game joining teammates Willson Contreras and Corey Black.

Jeimer Candelario received 27.8 percent of the votes to grab the final spot on the East Division team. The Brewers’ Yadiel Rivera was added to the West Division team after receiving 19.1 percent of the online voting.

This was the first time fan voting determined the final two spots for each team in the annual Fall Stars Game.

Jeimer Candelario deserved to be included on the East Division roster. The 21-year old switch hitting third baseman is batting .341/.362/.682 in 11 games with six doubles and three home runs for a 1.044 OPS. Candelario has two walks and nine of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases.

Willson Contreras has played in 13 games this fall. Contreras is batting .288/.356/.558 with five doubles, three home runs and a .914 OPS. Contreras has six walks and nine strikeouts in 52 at bats.

Corey Black is 1-0 in seven relief appearances with an 11.74 ERA and 2.22 WHIP. Black has allowed 12 runs, 10 earned, on 11 hits with six walks and five strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings. Black had a really poor outing on Tuesday. Black was charged with six runs, five earned, on two hits with three walks … four of the runs scored on a Grand Slam by Phillip Ervin. In two of his seven games, Black has given up a combined 10 runs, nine earned, on six hits with five walks in 2 1/3 innings.
