The Arizona Complex League Athletics are a Minor League Baseball team based in Mesa, Arizona, which plays as a Rookie-level team in the Arizona Complex League and has served as a farm team for the Athletics organization since 1988.[2] They play their home games at Fitch Park, the minor league spring training camp of the Athletics.[3] The team is composed mainly of players who are in their first year of professional baseball either as draftees or non-drafted free agents from the United States, Canada, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, and other countries.

History

The team first competed in the Arizona League (AZL) in 1988, and has been a member of the league continuously since then.[4] During the 2019 season, the team fielded two squads in the league, differentiated by Green and Gold suffixes.[4] Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed as the Arizona Complex League (ACL).
