A pair of notable prospects have impressed at the Arizona Diamondbacks’ fall instructional league.
Center fielder Jake McCarthy and third baseman A.J. Vukovich are standing out amongst the team’s 52-player instructional league roster. McCarthy’s improved bat and Vukovich’s supreme raw power have impressed Diamondbacks farm director Josh Barfield.
“They’ve both been sensational to this point,” Barfield said. “They each showed what they are capable of doing, and they have not disappointed. Both of them have stood out on the position player side of things.”
Arizona’s collection of young talent is on full display during instructional league matchups, and McCarthy is opening eyes with his offensive skill set.
