Let’s face it: The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a rough decade, especially in recent years. That said, hope may be on the horizon!
PHOENIX — Let’s face it: The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a rough decade, especially in recent years. The team has one postseason appearance in 10 years, and that ended with a decisive defeat to the eventual league champion Dodgers. The last time they won a playoff series was in 2007, before they were swept by Colorado in the NLCS.
Another piece of a potentially great outfield core is Jake McCarthy. He debuted late last season, putting up average rookie numbers, and has quietly improved his batting average from .220 to .283 at the end of his first full season this year. Taking more at-bats this year, McCarthy has taken full advantage of the opportunity to become a solid big leaguer. He touched on his burst of success late in the season.
There is plenty of excitement about the current young Diamondback big leaguers, but perhaps no one is attracting more attention than outfielder phenom Druw Jones. Jones was just recently selected second overall in the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and is ranked 12th overall on MLB’s 2022 top prospect list.
In high school, Druw led Wesleyan School to a Georgia state title while taking home the Georgia Player of the Year award. He committed to Vanderbilt as a sophomore, but he blossomed quickly in the next two seasons and earned an $8,189,400 signing bonus. The third-highest bonus in MLB Draft history, the decision was easy.
