Diamondbacks Select Jose Herrera

By Anthony Franco | November 8, 2021 at 10:30pm CDT

The D-Backs announced this afternoon they’ve selected catcher Jose Herrera to the 40-man roster. The move keeps him from qualifying for minor league free agency. Arizona’s 40-man is now full.

Herrera, 24, has been in the Diamondback organization for his entire career. The Snakes signed him as an amateur out of Venezuela during the 2013-14 international period, and he’s slowly progressed up the minor league ladder. Herrera reached the high minors for the first time in 2021, splitting the campaign between Double-A Amarillo and Triple-A Reno. Over 360 cumulative plate appearances, the switch-hitting backstop posted a .258/.364/.422 line with eleven homers, drawing walks at a robust 14.2% clip.

That solid showing impressed the D-Backs front office enough they decided not to risk losing Herrera in free agency. He joins Carson Kelly and Daulton Varsho as catchers on the Arizona roster.

    So there’s a chance he might make his major league debut at age 50…nice!

      Dalton is probably done playing catcher in the majors. He had success playing in the outfield. Walk rate is impressive. Average and power isn’t good enough to make it in the majors.

        Yeah, he’s thrown his last ball from behind home plate.

        He can play OF, it’s easy, tell him Wash..

      He had a pretty good showing with the A’s and deserves a longer look. The future is looking good.

    Gotta hope this promotion isn’t the highlight of the D-Back’s off-season. They got a lot of work to do. Come Opening Day, you might not recognize half the players suited up for Game 1.
