Rebilas-Imagn Images Introduction The Dbacks farm system could be described as a top heavy system, that ranks in the middle of the pack overall out of all 30 team’s farm systems, and I wouldn’t disagree at all with that assessment. While the Diamondbacks have drafted, signed, and developed some really great hitters in recent years such as Corbin Carroll and Geraldo Perdomo, the obvious reason as to why the farm system is ranked so poorly is thanks to a complete lack of any impactful pitching prospect. On top of that, throughout the organization’s history, there’s been a failure to develop pitching in house, with very few exceptions.

Today we’ll be ignoring that five ton proboscidean, bypassing that completely by focusing on just the hitters in the system. If we’re looking at just the hitting prospects in the farm system, I’d actually argue the Diamondbacks belong firmly in the upper third of MLB teams. Originally I started writing this as a standard top prospect list, but I realized that I am actually terrible at evaluating pitching.

The rankings here are a very subjective, and if there’s a player you think i have snubbed and left off the list, wait until next week and you’ll likely find them There are many valid arguments for ranking player X over player Y, who’d you’d rank higher than player Z. I could have easily gone with several different permutations of how these players are listed, so if you think that some players should be ranked differently, that’s totally okay! If you do have a strong arguement for why you think a specific player should have been ranked differently, than let me know in the comment section below the article.
