Two years ago, before the 2023 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system was ranked as the third-best by MLB Pipeline. At the time, the writers said, “[Brandon] Pfaadt, Ryne Nelson and Drey Jameson give the club three ready (or near-ready) rotation options. Even when they and NL Rookie of the Year Award candidate Carroll graduate during the D-backs’ darkhorse run toward a playoff spot, young bats like Lawlar, Jones and Deyvision [sic] De Los Santos should keep the system afloat with exciting ceilings”. Fast forward 24 months, and in the rankings which came out last week, the D-backs have dropped all the way down to twenty-second place.
