2025 Diamondbacks Draft Thread: Day One

Related Topics: Arizona Diamondbacks

The 2025 MLB draft is about to get under way in Atlanta. As discussed previously, there will be three picks for Arizona today. They will be active in slots #18 (1st round), #29 (free-agent comp), and #92 (third round). They lost their second round pick for signing Corbin Burnes, but gained one because they lost Christian Walker after making a qualifying offer. While they pick in the lower-half, it still offers opportunities to get a really nice player. It’s also significantly higher than last year. Courtesy of winning the NL pennant, they didn’t pick until #29, choosing Slade Caldwell - pictured above, making a really nice catch to end the All-Star Futures game yesterday.
