Meet Wilderd Patiño and Jeferson Espinal: The next wave of Diamondbacks prospects

The Arizona Diamondbacks have built a talented farm system largely due to a steady stream of multi-faceted outfielders.

Kristian Robinson, Corbin Carroll and Alek Thomas have represented the Diamondbacks’ top prospects for the past two seasons. And a bevy of other high-ceiling outfielders are scattered across different minor league levels.

Arizona’s farm system is filled with outfield depth, but another pair of Latin American talents are rising to the top of the D-backs’ farm system. Teenage outfielders Wilderd Patiño and Jeferson Espinal have the potential to become the next group of premier prospects.

“They both continue to mature and develop, and it’s special to see,” Diamondbacks farm director Josh Barfield said.
