D-backs turn focus to No. 1 overall pick

"There are going to be some outstanding big league players that get picked after the 10th round," D-backs general manager Dave Stewart said. "I challenged our guys to make sure we turned over every stone when it came to guys we're going to pick lower in the Draft."

When it comes to the first overall pick, which belongs to the D-backs for the second time in franchise history, Stewart is not tipping his hand.

Names like Vanderbilt shortstop Dansby Swanson, UC Santa Barbara right-hander Dillon Tate, Vandy righty Carson Fullmer, Illinois lefty Tyler Jay and high school catcher Tyler Stephenson have been among those most linked to the D-backs in mock drafts.
