The Arizona native has made quick work of the lower levels to emerge as the D-backs No.13 prospect..
Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Demetrio Crisantes has been on a tear at the plate. Taken in the 7th round of the 2022 draft, the 19-year-old right-hand infielder hit well in the Arizona Complex league in 2023, and has returned to form in 2024.in the ACL this year, before making a speedy jump to Single-A Visalia in mid-June. Since then, despite his young age, his numbers have gotten even better. He's hit .358/.455/.514 in 45 games with the Rawhide, good for a .969 OPS.
"As I get older, as I get stronger, the off-season where I get to lift more, I feel like my power is going to keep increasing, some fly balls that I hit to the warning track will go over the fence, or some doubles off the wall will go over the fence. “It’s awesome, honestly. I want to make the big leagues with the D-backs, I want to stay with the organization, it’s a great organization. Coaches are amazing, staff is amazing. Just being from Arizona too, I used to go to Chase Field all the time to watch the big league games," he said.
Of course, being from a lesser-known town like Nogales means Crisantes has had fewer eyes on him. He's flown mostly under the radar, but his fast transition and excellent Single-A numbers have propelled him from an unranked position to No.13 on Arizona's prospect list.
