How the Diamondbacks’ top five 2015 picks are doing

Teams are inching ever closer to the MLB Amateur draft on June 9.

Last year’s draft class was the Diamondbacks’ first draft class under GM Dave Stewart and Chief Baseball Officer Tony La Russa. The team had the rare opportunity to pick first overall in 2015. They used the pick on Dansby Swanson, who was shipped to Atlanta in the Shelby Miller deal. We all know that. But how about everyone else?

In the second round, with the 43rd overall pick, came Alex Young, a left-handed pitcher out of TCU.
