Good luck to AZL 1 and AZL 2. No matter what happens both teams have had very successful seasons.
To give you an idea of how rare this is here are the AZL Indians finishes since the Indians moved their rookie league team back to Arizona in 2009
2009 - 2nd in division, no playoffs
2010 - Last in division, no playoffs
2011 - 3rd in division, no playoffs
2012 - 2nd in division, no playoffs
2013 - 2nd in division, lost in first round of playoffs (first year playoffs expanded to quarterfinal format)
2014 - 1st in division, won AZL championship
2015 - Last in division, no playoffs
2016 - 3rd in division, lost in first round of playoffs
2017 - Last in division
To have two teams in the top 2 in their division and both teams make the playoffs is pretty amazing. Note that this is only the second year of ML teams having more than one AZL team and I think only the Padres had two teams last year.
Congrats to the Indians organization.
