The Diamondbacks open up the second day of the draft with their third round pick. At 90th overall, the D-backs select North Carolina left-hander Liam Norris. Last year, the team took another 6’4” North Carolina prep lefty in Blake Walston. A year later, history repeats itself as the team once again gets a tall lefty with a fastball, curveball, and change-up.
I got a chance to watch him pitch at the Perfect Game showcase a year ago.
