The third installment of the midseason prospect list will cover the infielder prospects of the Diamondbacks farm system. The infield is where the system has the most depth, even without signing top draft pick Matt McLain.
- Pavin Smith, 1B, Visalia Rawhide (High A): Smith’s first full season in the minors has not gone as planned. On the year, he’s batting .229/.328/.370 with 13 doubles, 1 triple, and 9 home runs in 341 PA. Those totals are disappointing overall, especially given his draft pedigree and why MLB Pipeline dropped him out of their Top 100 at the midseason checkpoint.
