With baseball on hiatus, The Republic is looking at Diamondbacks players through the eyes of the scouts who signed them. Remarks have been edited for brevity and readability.
Player: Carson Kelly
Position: Catcher
Drafted: 2nd round, 2012, St. Louis Cardinals
Backstory: Kelly was a high school shortstop/pitcher when the Cardinals drafted him in 2012, but he shifted immediately to third base upon turning pro. He moved behind the plate in 2014 and soon showed enough promise to twice rank among Baseball America’s Top 100 prospects.
