The Arizona Diamondbacks farm system has taken a hit in the last few years, thanks to some trades by previous front offices, but left-hander Anthony Banda is one prospect that was kept.
Banda, 23, is considered the Diamondbacks No. 1 prospect by MLB.com and Baseball America. Baseball America ranked Banda No. 88 on their top 100 prospects list for 2017.
Arizona originally drafted the 6′ 2″ 190 pounder in 2011, but he chose to attend college and did not sign. The Milwaukee Brewers selected him in the 2012 draft, and he, along with outfielder Mitch Haniger, was sent to the Diamondbacks at the 2014 trade deadline for Gerardo Parra.
