ON THE FIELD:

Generals clinch playoff berth; Varsho, Ellis, Smith honored

*The Generals clinched their third playoff berth in the last four seasons on Sunday, securing the second spot from the North Division. They will face the Montgomery Biscuits in the best-of-five North Division Series, beginning on September 4 at 6:05pm at Montgomery's Riverwalk Stadium.

*Three Generals earned Postseason All-Star honors this week from the Southern League, based on their year-long performance:

>>Catcher Daulton Varsho (top, above) was named as the league's best catcher, recording a league-high .884 OPS with 17 homers and 21 stolen bases.

>>Third baseman Drew Ellis (middle, above) was the league's best third baseman with a fielding percentage of .959, and he tied for the league lead with 63 walks while also collecting over 55 RBI and 55 runs.

>>Outfielder Pavin Smith (bottom, above), who split time between the outfield and first base, was one of four outfielders selected to the Postseason All-Star team. Smith is the only Southern League player ranked among the top ten in ten offensive categories that include: batting average (.290), OPS (.834), RBI (65), hits (126), doubles (29), triples (6), walks (57), extra-base hits (47), runs scored (61), and total bases (203, No. 1).

After their strong selections in the Amateur Draft and some additions at the MLB trade deadline, the rankings of the Arizona Diamondbacks' top 30 prospects have changed dramatically, based on analysis by MLB Pipeline. The Generals have three of them on the active roster ahead of next week's playoffs: Varsho, pitcher Josh Green, and outfielder/first baseman Seth Beer.
