The Diamondbacks will be sending two of their consensus Top 10 prospects to represent the organization in the 2019 MLB Futures Game. That includes catcher prospect Daulton Varsho and OF Alek Thomas, who I had at #2 and #4 on my Top 30 going into the draft and remain in the Top 5 post-draft. Both players were recent selections, going 68th and 62nd overall in the 2017 and 2018 drafts respectively and have been a major part of a farm system that went from near the bottom to near the top in just three seasons.
Varsho, 22, was originally drafted by the Diamondbacks in the Competitive Balance B round of the 2017 draft out of UW-Milwaukee.
