The Diamondbacks, with their pick (#29), in an alternate universe might have drafted Wehiwa Aloy, who was born in Hawaii. Let’s look at four Hawaiian players who were drafted this year.

Aiva John Uakea Arquette.

The Marlins drafted him as the 7th overall pick in the draft.

In 2022, the Diamondbacks drafted him as the 528th pick. He chose to go to college. Their draft choice reflected great scouting by the Diamondbacks!

On 12 June, in Keith Law’s Mock draft, he was the first overall pick. That tells me he was in the top tier of available players.
