It’s not often you come across a former first round pick whom you, another team, also get to draft as a first round pick. That’s the headliner on UCLA IF/CF Matt McLain — the Diamondbacks first round selection of 2018. The 25th overall pick that year, McLain elected Palo Alto rather than big league ball, a decision that, by all means, appears to be a healthy gamble for his checking account.
At 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, McLain comes in a diminutive package but packs a punch you might not expect from a stature like his.
