Zawadzki, who is certainly a rising star in the Sand Diego Padres organization and played Double-A ball in San Antonio, Texas this past season, is among a select group playing in the Arizona Fall League.
The roster for the Rising Stars Game is loaded with first round draft picks and a large group of predicted future major leaguers. In fact, the starting pitchers from the East/West Divisions will be No. 1 pick Stephen Strasburg (Washington Nationals) and Atlanta Braves first-round pick, Mike Minor.
Scouting and minor-league directors of every major-league organization, in consultation with Fall League Director Steve Cobb and his baseball personnel staff selected the players for the showcase. Each major-team organization is represented by at least one player.
"The nation will have the opportunity to see a sampling of the array of talent that is on display in the Arizona Fall League, six days a week for six weeks," Cobb said. "We are proud to showcase some of the top prospects in baseball to a national viewing audience for the first time in the Rising Star Game on Saturday night."
