2022 Diamondbacks Reviews, #34 Jose Herrera

In one aspect Jose Herrera is a dinosaur: signed on July 8th, 2013, with over 9 years he is currently the player with most years in the Diamondbacks’ organisation.

“I am the only one who is left of all those years in the minor leagues.” - Jose Herrera when asked if he still has friends from his minor league years in the organisation in a 2022 interview available on YouTube (Spanish)

It shows how hard it is for those international prospects to reach the major leagues, especially for guys like Jose Herrera who aren’t super talented, although he was hardly a scrub in 2013: he got a $1,060,000 bonus.
