Taylor Clarke was the Diamondbacks 3rd round pick of the 2015 Draft. One of the reason I believe Deric Ladnier took him was because Clarke was an easy MLB starter projection and needed very little refinement in the minors. In his first full season with the organization Clarke advanced from Class A Kane County to AA Mobile, with a quick stop at Class A Advanced Visalia. Clarke dominated in the first two stops of 2016 before holding his own at AA. Overall Clarke posted a 12-9 record with a 3.31 ERA in 149 1⁄3 IP, with a 118/33 strikeout to walk ratio.
