nice move by the dbacks

This helps on multiple fronts. Not only does this help the MLB Club with pitching depth, this also helps the local Universities ASU and UofA. Nice job Dbacks!

Honest question – If he is good enough to be worth 400k, why wasn’t he drafted?

I can only imagine it had to do with the fear that he wouldnt sign so it would be a wasted pick, but even thats a pretty weak guess sense tons of teams sign guys in later rounds they arent sure will sign,
Lunchbox45
yup

A Baseball America article from July says he was ranked 129th out of 500 before the draft but wasn’t drafted because of signability. I can’t help but think that something must’ve happened between then and now, but I can’t fathom what, since another BA article posted today says his stuff actually improved in the West Coast League this summer.
