Per the New Orleans Baby Cakes website, second baseman Isan Diaz been named to the 2019 Pacific Coast League All-Star team, the league announced on Wednesday. The Miami Marlins prospect is the only member of the team to make the game.
Diaz is currently the Marlins No. 6 minor league prospect and has torn up opposing pitching consistently this season. The former Milwaukee Brewers farmhand was one of the players packaged together in a deal that sent outfielder Christian Yelich north to the National League Central.
All four of the players involved in the deal – Diaz, outfielders Monte Harrison, and Lewis Brinson and pitcher Jordan Yamamoto – have a chance to become cornerstone players for the Marlins in the future.
