Jamie Westbrook is an Arizona native, who was born, raised and graduated high school in Gilbert, Arizona. Westbrook was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 5th round of the 2013 Draft out of Basha Highschool in Gilbert. I asked Jon Duplantier who to interview next, and he suggested Jamie Westbrook, so I contacted Jamie on Instagram, and had a short and casual interview. I’ve edited the interview for clarity and to make it much more readable.
