Itttttttttttttttt’s time for an offseason Diamondbacks prospect update. As I sit down to make these rankings, I’ve noticed last year’s was posted a day a part on 12/7 and can be viewed here. I’m going to declare Blaze Alexander and Andrew Saalfrank as no longer prospects due to their MLB sample sizes already, FYI. So let’s get to it, here are my 2025 Off-Season Diamondbacks prospect rankings.
TIER 1 - Jordan Lawlar Tier
1 Jordan Lawlar - SS/3B (#2 last year)
I’m still buying all the Jordan Lawlar stock. Still just 21 years old today, if it weren’t for injuries he would have already been a firm MLB player by now. As a 20& 21 year old, Jordan Lawlar has a career 1.041 OPS in 28 AAA games. His cup of coffee during the 2023 World Series run showed he was overmatched at age 20 going 4-31 at the plate, but he’s crushed every level of the minors already.
After major injuries (shoulder 2021-22, thumb & hammy 2024), Lawlar is getting extra AB’s in the Dominican Winter League. After a hot start, he’s cooled to a .237/.315/.355 slash line, but has 3 HR & 8 SB in 93 AB. Lawlar has such a fun power & speed combo with a glove that has potential to play SS or 3B. If Lawlar rakes this Spring (2024 Blaze Alexander style), he could easily win a roster spot. I still think Ketel Marte may DH more, Perdomo can always slide to 2B, Geno could use some DH time too in his 30’s. Nonetheless, Jordan Lawlar NEEDS to stay healthy, but I’m all in still as he’s easily my #1 prospect in the organization.
I have Jordan Lawlar in a tier by himself because I think he’s going to be a key piece on the 2025 Diamondbacks and will be an above average left side of the infield player for awhile. I just don’t feel as confident in a 2nd prospect as I do Lawlar.
TIER 2 - Future MLB players
2 Gino Groover - 3B (#8 Last Year)
Last year I just noted that “this dude rakes'“ and that continued in 2024. Playing in just 61 games due to injury, Groover hit 10 HR, a low 11.3 K%, a great 13.6% BB% and to me has such a high chance to be a good MLB player. He’s got an advanced approach at the plate, showed some pop while maintaining good average & on base skills. Groover hit .339 in Arizona Fall League this year too. People love high upside players in prospect rankings, but Gino Groover should work through the minors quickly and be a good MLB hitter. He doesn’t have Lawlar upside, but I’m really convinced Groover will be a MLB bat.
3 Druw Jones - CF (#1 Last Year)
Prospect fatigue is real. Druw Jones was a consensus #1 Diamondbacks prospect and top #15-ish MLB prospect, but then like weirdly most D-Backs prospects he had a major injury and missed almost a full season and now most websites have him around 10th for the Diamondbacks and he’s fallen out of the top 100 in other MLB lists. Druw Jones didnt look great last Spring in limited action including the Spring Breakout game in March where he looked lost at the plate. But luckily Druw Jones stayed healthy for almost an entire 2024 season and started flashing his upside.
Druw Jones is great in CF and has the upside to be an elite glove at 6’4 with insane speed. The bat is the question mark, where he did slash .275/.409/.405 with a strong 18% walk rate, but the 28% K rate is concerning. He’s a big 6’4 kid with a long swing, but this tier is about guys I think has a strong chance to be MLB players and Druw Jones elite glove should get him there. At just 20 he had a good A ball season, so there’s time for the bat to flourish. The upside is still there and Druw is extremely young still. I think people are too down on Druw Jones as he’s not quite Justin Upton type prospect we hoped for, but 2024 was encouraging.
4 Yilber Diaz - SP (#16 Last Year)
Yilber Diaz really caught my eye at the Spring Breakout game last season (full article here, really happy I went to this game so many looks at prospects, great idea by MLB). I wrote about Diaz:
“We got to see a lot of Yilber Diaz today. Fastball was consistently 96/97, his curveball was filthy but he threw just 1 for a strike. The stuff is electric, and while he made 25 starts last year his fastball/curve combo at 6’0 feels like a RP profile. 140 K’s in 102.2 IP last year but 60 combined BB/HBP.”
That’s pretty much what we saw in 2024. It’s a strong 2 pitch mix and that obviously would play great in the bullpen, but the Ryne Nelson blueprint of high 90’s fastballs and strong curveballs did work last year. Nelson is able to consistently throw curveballs for strikes though, where Diaz wasn’t able to *yet*. Love the stuff though, and if you follow my Twitter you know I’m constantly pointing out how important velocity and good stuff is (Ryne Nelson, Zac Gallen, Justin Martinez, AJ Puk throw very hard and were the 4 best pitchers on the 2024 team. No coincidence how Slade Cecconi was great in the 1st inning as a SP and terrible 2nd time around the lineup when the velo dropped from 98+ to mid-low 90’s range).
5 Adrian Del Castillo - C/DH (#29 Last Year)
ADC rakes. Last year I noted “Reportedly has made big strides behind the dish to be okay w/ glove, 12 HR .891 OPS in AA, struggled in Reno”. The bat leveled up in AAA with 26 HR, 75 RBI in 105 games at Reno then slashed .313/.368/.525 good for .893 OPS at the MLB level including some clutch late game heroics.
Again this is the “I think they’re going to be legit MLB players” tier, the reason he’s #5 and not #2 or even #1 is that he doesn’t have a defensive position. ADC has made strides with the glove but he has a noodle arm and it got exposed quickly (PTSD to the Rays SB series). I just don’t think you can improve that area a drastic amount, peek that pop time….
ADC has played 0 innings at 1B in college or minors which is shocking, and just 2 OF innings in pro ball. So you’d have to teach him a position at the MLB level which is impossible to do. DH only puts a lot of pressure on that bat to not just be good but elite. Last year we saw with Joc how hard it is to get AB’s when you go on a LHP run or Ketel Marte (or anyone) needs to DH since they’re banged up. So i’m not sure what the Diamondbacks plan is for ADC, but boy can he rake.
TIER 3 - Massive Upside New Guys
6 Slade Caldwell - OF (2024 1st Round Pick)
When the Diamondbacks draft a short but fast LH OF bat, you take notice. Caldwell fits the prototype of a player that thrives in the D-Backs system. Caldwell fell to the Diamondbacks at the end of the 1st round because of his high signing bonus ask as most draft rankings had him top 15. The D-backs had extra picks meaning more signing bonus pool money and lucked out with Slade Caldwell. I can’t wait to see Caldwell play in 2025, no better organization for a player like him to land.
7 Adriel Radney - OF (2024 International Signing)
Adriel Radney was a big time $1.85M international signing for the Diamondbacks in 2024. Ranked 10th in the 2024 class by MLB Pipeline, Radney has massive power and speed tools and could stay in CF in the minors. To me Radney is similar to the Slade Caldwell draft pick in upside and ranking and I can’t wait to see both play in 2025.
TIER 4 - Could Definitely Jump up in Rankings this Year
8 Ryan Waldschmidt - OF (2024 1st Round Pick)
The Goldschmidt Happens guy likes the dude with Schmidt in their name? Crazy, I know. Ryan Waldschmidt tore his ACL in the 2023 Cape Cod League but made it back in time for the 2024 season and raked. Waldschmidt flashed power (14 HR, OPS over 1.000) at Kentucky and being 22 he showed an advanced approach at the plate in a strong SEC. Just an okay LF, Waldschmidt fills a need in the system as RH OF with some power upside. Waldschmidt feels like a high floor prospect to me like Gino Groover.
9 Cristian Mena - SP (Traded to ARI last offseason)
In general I’m not crazy about the Diamondbacks pitching prospect pool and I’ve been screaming on Twitter to start acquiring pitchers with better velocity and stuff. The Diamondbacks took a step towards this by selling high on Dominic Fletcher (now terrible) for RHP Cristian Mena.
Mena was shut down early in August for a forearm strain where he was recommended 8 weeks of no throwing, so hopefully he’s good to go by Spring Training. Mena had an overall 100.3 Stuff+ rating in AAA which means his pitches where filthy. For comparison, Pirates Mitch Keller & Tanner Bibee had similar stuff+ ratings in 2024. Still just 22, Mena needs to get healthy but has legit SP upside and could be one of Hazen’s best trades in the long run.
10 Jansel Luis - SS (#6 Last Year)
Luis is a fun prospect as he’s just 19 and extremely toolsy. One of the big signees of the 2022 international class, Luis put together a nice 7 HR 20 SB season in A ball last year. Luis reportedly is still pretty raw on both sides of the ball, but he put together a full solid year despite turning 19 in Marchand probably still growing. Age 20 2025 season will be a big year for Luis to jump up these rankings or settle in as a mid tier prospect.
11 JD Dix - SS (2024 Draft Pick)
JD Dix has an identical swing to Geraldo Perdomo (check it out here) except he switch hits and is 6’4. HS SS who likely will be a corner infielder or maybe a big 2B, JD Dix missed a lot of time in HS with shoulder injuries and eventually had labrum surgery as a HS Senior. The injuries mixed with a strong commitment to Wake Forest made a team like the Diamondbacks who had a big pool for upside players to draft him. 6’4 switch hitter with lots of athleticism is exciting, like most in this tier I think JD Dix is either top 10 or outside the top 30 after getting a full season look at him in 2025.
TIER 5- High Upside Low Level Dudes
12 Demetrio Crisantes - 2B (Unranked Last Year)
Demetrio Crisantes was a 7th round pick in 2022 out of Nogales HS in AZ and has done nothing but raked in the minors. Also stealing 30 bags last year, Crisantes is an exciting bat who reportedly is a strong fielder too.
13 Landon Sims - RP (#13 Last Year)
I want stuff and Landon Sims has it. A Tommy John draft pick in 2022, Sims returned in 2023 and started to get fully back to pre-TJ levels between A ball levels with 85 K’s in 56.2 IP. In his last full college season on the 2021 Miss St Championship team, Sims had 1.44 ERA with 100 strikeouts in 56.1. Landon Sims is fully healthy and ready to roll, he should fly through the farm system and be an impact bullpen piece soon. I’m really really excited about Landon Sims.
14 Yordin Chalas - RP (2023 International Signing)
20 year old that throws upper 90’s already?? I’m in. Standing at 6’3, 72 K’s in 50.2 IP last year, RP prospects can fly through the minors. Here’s an absolutely hilarious video of Yordin Chalas ending an inning with a well… strikeout? But for real here’s a video of easy heat, as this aggressive ranking from me is really centered around having maybe the best fastball in the farm system at just 20 years old.
15 Joe Elbis - SP (Unranked Last Year)
Joe Elbis was added to the 40 man roster this offseason to avoid the Rule 5 Draft. Elbis broke out in 2024 with 3.79 ERA, 1.19 WHIP in 24 GS over 135.1 IP between A/AA. Elbis sits low 90’s with a slider as his secondary pitch and AAA Reno will obviously be a big test, but Elbis was fantastic in 2024 and being protected by the Diamondbacks this offseason means he’s firmly on their radar too.
TIER 6 - I’m Really Worried About These Formerly High Ranked Guys
16 Yu-Min Lin - SP (#5 Last Year)
Everyone loves Yu-Min Lin but he’s 5’10 160 ibs and throws 88-91. I just don’t know if someone throwing that softly can considered a legit MLB prospect? Yes he was just 20 last year and he was okay in AA (4.28 ERA rough 1.45 WHIP in 19 GS), but while some people hype up Lin to be future key rotation piece, I just don’t see it. Reno could be an incredibly difficult task for Lin in 2025, but I think Ryan Yarbrough is the ceiling here.
17 Tommy Troy - SS (#3 Last Year)
So Tommy Troy can’t hit a curveball? Troy has a big leg kick and has been crushing fastballs, but he’s struggling heavily with spin. Tommy Troy struggled overall to .234/.319/.363 in RK/A ball last year which is really concerning as a college 1st round draft pick. There is signs of encouragement from the Arizona Fall League slashing .290/.380/.484. Troy also steals bases at a nice clip with 20 total SB’s last year.
I really like to see college players in rookie ball get off to hot starts, but at least the AZ Fall League went well. Tommy Troy is going to need to make drastic improvements in 2025 as an A ball curveball is a lot different than AAA curveball. Also Tommy Troy made 16 errors in 49 games last year at SS…
18 Jorge Barrosa - OF (#20 Last Year)
Jorge Barrosa got a cup of coffee last year going 3-17, but my concern was his overall just okay season in hitter friendly AAA in 2024. Slashing .270/.360/.421 in Reno is fine but 9 HR 13 SB it’s going to be tough for him to crack the roster with Corbin, Alek, Jake, Lourdes here. I just don’t see a path for Barrosa to ever be a consistent MLB player here.
Tier 7 - More Fun International Prospects
19 Yassel Soler - 3B (2023 International Signing)
Yassel Soler at just 18 years old played a full season stateside between RK/A ball and slashed a strong .296/.347/.460. Soler had a fantastic 17.3% K rate but not so great 6.8% BB rate meaning he has great bat to ball skills but he’s also really aggressive at the plate. Strong 2024 firmly put him on the radar for 2025.
20 Cristofer Torin - SS (6th Last Year)
Last year I had Torin & Luis ranked for a tie at 6/7. Luis flashed more with the bat, but Torin had a good year too. Torin slashed .255/.381/.344 at Low-A ball last year showcasing his ability to get on base but he’s always going to be a contact guy and just a solid not great glove.
21 Abdias De La Cruz - OF (2022 International Signing)
ADLC is a really fun prospect who’s 6’3, slashed 301/.399/.435 in rookie ball with 14.3% walk rate and 20.5% K rate (both great). While he didn’t homer last year he’s a big kid with great bat to ball skills, so that could come in time.
22 Gian Zapata - OF (#15 Last Year)
Like ADLC, Zapata is big time international signing who’s 6’4 and even more athletic. The issue with a 6’4 19 year old is the swing takes time to smooth out. The Diamondbacks bounced Zapata from the DR to complex league in 2024, so he’s still very raw. I don’t want to lower him too much off last year since he’s barely played and still 19, but a good amount of international prospects leap him this year.
TIER 8 - Tawa & More Intriguing Pitchers
23 Tim Tawa - INF/OF (Unranked Last Year)
The Diamondbacks sent out a positive indication for Tim Tawa this offseason by adding him to the 40 man roster protecting him the Rule 5 Draft next week. An 11th round pick in 2021 after a breakout 2021 season at Stanford, Tawa has been solid 2021-23 until breaking out in 2024 to 31 HR, 14 SB between AA/AAA while playing 1B, 2B, 3B, OF. I’m being a little aggressive in my ranking because of the 40 man roster add. Tim Tawa can play multiple positions but is average to below average at all of them. Blaze Alexander fumbling the utility spot last year opens a door for Tawa to win a spot and be a perfect guy to fill in for injuries.
24 Jacob Steinmetz - SP (Honorable Mention Last Year)
Steinmetz broke out in 2024 making 23 starts between Low-A & High-A finishing with 113 K in 107 IP and a 4.01 ERA. At 6’6, Steinmetz has plenty of potential and projectability to continue to develop at just age 21 next year. He throws a ton of strikes consistently and his slider was even hitting 88+ last year.
25 Dylan Ray - SP (#22 Last Year)
He’s finally healthy! Unfortunately the results weren’t there last season with 5.03 ERA and 1.53 WHIP last year in 17 GS in AA. Ray’s path to improvement is sharpening his 2 off-speed breaking pitches, a curveball & slider. Ray throws a change-up too that’s been inconsistent. The Diamondbacks don’t have a ton of SP’s ranked highly in the farm system, but at age 24 Ray needs to sharpen his tools and take a step forward in 2025.
Tier 9 - 2024 Draft Picks I Like (Stealing my old write ups from this)
26 Connor Foley, RHP
Connor Foley signed over slot for $1 million (slot was $392,300). Ranked 106 by MLB Pipeline, Foley became a full time starter in 2024 and was able to throw 94/95 consistently while touching 99 at times. Foley is 6’5, 235, former HS TE and is extremely athletic for his size. Unlike most prospects, he has great feel and movement on his change-up, as the slider is still a work in progress.
MLB Pipeline noted that Foley was able to maintain his velo deep into games. I think his high price tag dropped him from the 3rd round range to 5th, which the Diamondbacks and their large bonus pool benefit from.
27 Daniel Eagen, RHP
First pitcher the Diamondbacks selected in the draft was a 6’4 RHP in Daniel Eagen. The first 2 season of his college career were a disaster as he battled several injuries and wasn’t good when he was on the hill. 2024 Eagen stayed healthy and impressed with 122 strikeouts in 77 2/3 innings. Ranked in the 75-100 range by most, Eagen has a fastball/curveball 1-2 punch that was electric last season.
Daniel Eagen having 2 + pitches makes him an obvious reliever candidate, on the flip side since he’s had just 1 full season there hasn’t been much time to develop his slider or his rarely used change-up. There’s a good blend of elite production last year with projection and size with Eagen.
28 Tytus Cissell, SS/OF
Tytus Cissell is a really interesting HS draft pick. The switch hitting SS with plus speed has reportedly performed well in tournaments against good pitching. At 6’2, he has great speed and arm strength for the OF if his glove doesn’t improve at SS. This is another good time to point out that HS positions really don’t matter, as Cissell has played SS in HS, but easily could play 2B, has the arm for 3B and all the tools for the entire OF.
Tier 10 - Low Velo Guys Who Could Be Awesome RP’s
29 Spencer Giesting, LHP (Honorable Mention Last Year)
Giesting a 6’4 lefty would has continued to have success in the minors with 3.31 ERA last year, 154 K in 141.1 IP. He sits low 90’s with a strong sweeper, which makes me wonder if he’ll eventually be a LH RP with this 2 pitch mix. 4.65 ERA in 15 GS in AA last year vs 1.50 ERA in A ball, but 6’4 LHP is great stuff.
30 Blake Walston - SP (#27 Last Year)
Walston has major “stuff” issue as he doesn’t throw hard or miss bats, but he did do okay in his 18.1 IP at the MLB level last year. He’ll need to be extremely crafty to stick at the MLB level, but he’s 6’5 so hopefully he can finds ways to create some good deception.
31 Caden Grice - SP (#28 Last Year)
Grice is a big 6’6 LHP who was a 2 way player at Clemson, but has settled into pitching with the Diamondbacks. He only throws 90-91 range but has an elite slider that’s filthy. The bad news is that he needed Tommy John last summer. He’s a project for sure but could make a great LHP RP one day.
32 Grayson Hitt - RP (Honorable Mention Last Year)
Hitt was a Tommy John draft pick in 2023 and was limited to just 6 IP last year in his return. 10.2 K/9 in college as a SP mainly, he’ll be a RP in pro ball. Finally healthy, we’ll see if his velo ticks up as a RP.
TIER 11 - Some More Bats with Tough 2024
33 Jack Hurley - OF (#4 Last Year)
I was really high on Hurley coming out of Virginia with a fun power/speed combo and beautiful left handed swing. While Hurley did hit 12 HR and stole 14 bags in 2024, he hit just .245 with .305 OBP. Hurley struck out 136 times and walked just 36 times. I worry about college guys who don’t dominate A ball right away.
34 Kristian Robinson - OF (#19 Last Year)
K-Rob’s journey from top prospect to out of baseball to make in the minors for the Diamondbacks has been a rollercoaster, but he’s healthy and playing ball again and I love to see it. He’s a massive dude who hits the ball hard, but needs to improve on 36% K rate he posted last year. While he’s not a perceived lock like he was in the future to one day impact the MLB roster, I could see him posting monster Reno numbers soon. From there, are you Peter O’Brien bust or a Stone Garrett MLB type?
35 Pedro Catuy - OF (2023 International Signing)
Pedro Catuy is a CF who slashed .288/.361/.441 in rookie ball in 2023, but missed 2024 with a knee injury. Stole 18 bags that season too.
TIER 12 - More Pitchers
36 Listher Sosa - RP - (Acquired for Josh Van Meter)
6’4 dude that throws upper 90’s. The issue right now is that his secondary pitches are still very raw. Still, a good haul for Josh Van Meter, one of the worst Diamondbacks ever. 9.1 K/9 but I like the 3.0 BB/9, continue to throw strikes and develop an off-speed pitch and there’s room for a huge jump in 2025 as he’s just 23 next year and already in AA.
37 Kyle Amendt - RP (Unranked Last Year)
He’s knocking on the door of the show. Low 90’s guy with great deception, got hit hard in the Arizona Fall League though. It’s a tough Dylan Floro type profile which i hate, but he’s had a lot of success in the minors and probably will get MLB looks in 2025.
38 Ricardo Yan - SP (#24 Last Year)
Yan had a strong 2023 with 138 K's in 103.2 IP, but took a step back in 2024 with a rotator cuff strain limiting him to just 9 GS. 6'4 plus sweeper is still incredibly interesting.
TIER 13 The Catchers
39 Caleb Roberts - C (Honorable Mention Last Year)
Roberts has swung the bat well in AA with 20 HR last year and 11.3% BB rate and 24.7% K rate. The Diamondbacks have been trying to convert Roberts to catcher, so if the glove can continue to improve he is far and away the #2 hitting catcher in the organization behind ADC.
40 Alberto Barriga - C (Unranked Last Year)
Barriga was a 2022 international signing from Mexico and posted some really intriguing slash lines in the low level of minors. Despite coming off a broken leg in 2023, Barriga slashed .276/.362/.432 in 2024. Just 5’9 but is said to be solid behind the dish. The bat is advanced for being just 20 next year.
41 Christian Cerda - C (Honorable Mention Last Year)
Cerda was acquired in the David Peralta trade and has made great strides as a catcher. Strong arm, athletic, just needs to improve the glove & blocking. At the plate he posts huge walk rates and will be just 22 next year. You love to see the strides he’s made each season as the Diamondbacks really need to develop a catcher to pair with Gabi.
42 Ivan Luciano - C (2024 2nd Round Pick)
Smooth left handed swing, solid behind the dish. Just turned 18 so he’s a long ways away, but there’s tools here.
43 JJ D’Orazio - C (Acquired for Joakim Soria in 2021)
JJ is very athletic with a canon arm, but the bat has stalled out a bit in AA. JJ is 23 and may get pushed up to AAA this year full time, but the bat needs to make improvements.
TIER 14 More Upside Low Level Prospects
44 Roman Angelo - RHP - (Undrafted FA 2023)
6’5 24 year old who has put together a strong 2024 with 151 K’s in 121.1 IP, 3.39 ERA in A ball.
45 Pedro Blanco - 1B (2024 International Signing)
Big power hitting LH bat, 6’2 right now. Just 17 but the Diamondbacks don’t have a lot of power bats in these levels, Blanco is definitely intriguing to be showing off pop like this right away (.480 SLG in 2nd half of Complex League last year").
46 Junior Ciprian - RHP (2023 International Signing)
6’3, throws 95+ already, just 19.
47 Sam Knowlton - RP (12th round 2023 Draft)
6’8 and can touch 100, the issue has been several arm injuries in college and now in pros. He walks around a batter per inning but again, 6’8 throws 100, get healthy big fella.
48 Jeury Espinal - RHP (2024 International Signing)
Just looking at stats from the Dominican League last year, 40.1 IP, 58 K, 8 BB, 3.12 ERA SHEESH that type of strikeout numbers with low walks for a 17 year old is unheard of. Reportedly 89-92 with a good slider, but again he’s still just 17.
TIER 14 Prospects That Have Been Around Awhile
49 Ivan Melendez - 1B/3B (#26 Last Year)
I’ve always been really concerned about Ivan Melendez as he consistently had 35%+ K rates. To Melendez credit he lowered it to 30% last year in AA, but just 22 HR as someone who is a terrible defender is tough. The Diamondbacks refused to all up DDLS last year and traded him when he hit 40 HR in AAA, so Melendez will have to somehow top that while still lowering his K rate. I just don’t see it still.
50 AJ Vukovich - 3B/OF (#12 Last Year)
Vukovich really needed to breakout last year, but he continued to be good not great. HR went from 24 to 17, SB 20 to 6 as he spent the entire year in AA. He’s just 23 and toolsy, but he’s got a lot of competition in AAA Reno where you need to rake to play.
List of Guys to Keep an Eye on
Kyle Backhus - LHP RP, solid 3.94 ERA in Reno last year, 6’4
Jose Fernandez - Big 6’4 3B, 21 years old, good glove but bat has been average.
Austin Pope - RHP RP, 70K in 56.2 IP last year in Reno
Edgar Isea - RHP who throws mid 90’s, 22 years old command issues though
Jose Alpuria -Toolsy 19 year old CF
Juan Corniel - Glove first SS, weak bat in AAA now.
Hayden Durke - RHP, 22, 13th round pick in 2023, mid 90’s fastball, 12-6 curve
Ruben Santana - Corner INF, #14 for me last year after big 2023, awful 2024.
PROSPECTS COMPLETELY OFF MY LIST NOW
Tristin English - 1B/OF (#18 Last Year)
.750 OPS are 1B/corner OF just isn’t going to cut it. College draft pick is now 27.
Wilderd Patino - OF (#21 Last Year)
Hit .220 with .610 OPS between A/AA/AAA last year, struggled at all levels.
Kevin Sim - 3B (#25 Last Year)
Former 5th round pick .586 OPS in over 100 games last year.
-GoldyHappens
A new guy I want to keep an eye on, INF Andy Weber. LH bat, plays the entire infield. He was 2023 Minor League Rule 5 pick who re-signed with the D-Backs after a strong 2024 MiLB season. In just 53 games he slashed a strong .305/.356/.503 for a .858 OPS. Went to Virginia and you know how much this org likes UVA guys (McCarthy, Pavin, Jack Hurley). Age 28 season next year but will start in Reno, interested to see what numbers he can put up there
