The Arizona Dbacks own the #1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. It takes place on June 8th and could be the birthdate of a new generation for the Diamondbacks. A few days ago, we highlighted Dansby Swanson, the Vanderbilt shortstop. Today we begin with some pitching. We’re talking about something of a rare selection. Ok, it’s a closer.
Tyler Jay would be an interesting choice with the #1 pick. Jay has the potential to be a starter in the professional level, but has spent his entire collegiate career as a reliever. Jay’s path to the majors would be fast tracked if he stays in the bullpen, especially in the Dbacks organization.
