New York Mets prospect Jett Williams will be playing in the Arizona Fall League Fall Stars Game on Saturday. He’s the Mets’ sole representative in the game, and you can check out the rest of the roster here.

Williams, who turned 21 last week, was sent to play in the AFL after missing a large portion of the regular season with a right wrist injury that ultimately required surgery. The injury limited to Williams to only 33 games between Low-A St. Lucie, Double-A Binghamton and a quick stop at Triple-A Syracuse to end the season. In those games –which I would certainly consider a portion of them like spring training for Jett– he hit .215/.359/.298 with eight doubles, one triple, no home runs, and five stolen bases. He played almost exclusively infield during the regular season –24 at shortstop and five at second base compared to only one in center field.

In the Arizona Fall League, Williams is seeing more time in center field –nine games there and 10 at shortstop, though he’s been playing center more frequently in recent weeks. The right-handed hitter is slashing .222/.367/.403 with three doubles, two triples, two home runs and seven RBIs in 19 AFL games.

The Mets also have outfielder Drew Gilbert (.805 OPS), third base/left fielder Jacob Reimer (.645 OPS), right-handed pitchers Dylan Ross (21.21 ERA), Saul García (3.68 ERA), Jonathan Pintaro (.384 ERA), Jawilme Ramirez (3.86 ERA) and Noah Hall (5.40 ERA) participating in the AFL for the Scottsdale Scorpions.

The AFL Fall Stars Game will be this Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
