Drew Ellis came to the Diamondbacks via the draft in 2017. He was our Second Round pick (number 44 overall) out of Louisville. That’s a pretty nifty pedigree in this office desk jockey’s opinion. He was taken before Corbin Martin (56th overall). Before some guy named Daulton Varsho (68th overall). Ellis signed on June 27, 2017 and immediately went to the Hops (then a short season team), where he got 181 at bats hitting .227 with 8 Home Runs, 45 Strike Outs, 24 Walks, and a .327 OBP. He steadily rose through the system (Visalia A-ball in 2018, Jackson AA in 2019, “played ball in 2020” as part of a 4-team independent league apparently, and Reno AAA & Arizona MLB in 2021).
