Taylor Clarke will get his first taste of the big leagues next month when he joins D-backs pitchers and catchers at Salt River Fields as a non-roster invitee to Spring Training.
The right-handed Clarke, who was selected in the third round of the 2015 Draft, has made a steady rise through the Arizona system, topping out at Triple-A Reno in 2017.
The D-backs' No. 3 prospect according to MLB Pipeline began last year at Double-A Jackson, where he finished the 2016 season.
That gave him an extra dose of confidence heading into the season and some comfort of knowing what to expect.
