Following the Eduardo Escobar trade, the Arizona Diamondbacks are calling up Drew Ellis from Triple-AAA Reno Aces.
I covered him in the recent Minor League system update article. He is going to get his shot to be the Diamondbacks 3B of the future right now after hitting .286, .396, .554. He’s hit 13 HRs, 52 RBI’s with 39 walks against 66 strikeouts. He has a good hit tool and can field well for a third baseman. According to MLB Pipeline, he’s our 29th rated prospect in the system.
