Here are two notes about catching prospects from Arizona Fall League action.

• Baltimore’s top prospect Matt Wieters is following up a 2008 minor league season, where he hit a combined 27 home runs and batted .355 in Advanced-A and Double-A, with a good showing in the Arizona Fall League. In 33 at-bats he’s .333/.463/.455 with two doubles, a triple, and five RBI. He’s also throwing out catchers at a pleasing rate and started at catcher for the National Rising Stars in the recent Rising Stars Showcase.
• Atlanta prospect Tyler Flowers had Braves fans whispering his name last Spring Training as he previewed his power potential. He didn’t make the big club, but he did belt 17 home runs for Advanced-A Myrtle Beach. He’s showing off again this off-season in the AFL as he’s hit five home runs in nine games and is batting .467/.543/1.100.
