Awesome names: who are these draftees?

I had this terrific Excel sheet full of drafted players but didn’t have a real plan for them until I saw Spencer pulling up his fantastic drafts series.

As usual, I will add my own pinch of salt to the draft menu that was prepared by Spencer and give you the most awesome names that were ever drafted by the Diamondbacks, obtained via baseball reference. Little note: not all draftees eventually sign.

The player that was most often drafted by the Diamondbacks was “Matt”. A blistering 39 times did Matt hear his name getting called on draft day.
