The Arizona Diamondbacks walk away from the first night of the 2022 MLB Draft with an impressive haul that includes the top consensus prospect, a National Champion closer, and the most recent Golden Spikes Award winner

In the 2022 MLB Draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks had an unique opportunity to really add some high impact talent on the first night of the draft. They had the 2nd, 34th, and 43rd overall selections in a very deep draft class thanks to a confluence of events that shaped this class.

This draft also marked the first for the team’s now Director of Amateur Scouting Ian Rebhan. Rebhan was promoted to the position after the previous scouting director, Deric Ladnier, was promoted to a special assistant to the GM role. His first year, the draft could not have lined up better for him.
