Evaluating and taking a look at the Arizona Diamondbacks next crop of prospect starting pitchers.
that the Arizona Diamondbacks had called up since late 2022. These five pitchers have made their debuts and worked to varying levels of success while being the first group to reach the big leagues relatively together.
The 22-year-old has pitched 31.2 innings over seven games in Triple-A with the Reno Aces. He had a cup of coffee with the D-backs over a one day sample this year in which he pitched 3.2 innings against the Dodgers in relief of Jordan Montgomery. He allowed two runs, four walks, three hits, and struck out five.
The issue for Walston lies with his below-average fastball. He's thrown the fastball over 55% of the time and it has been walloped. Hitters are batting .333 with a slug of .556 off of it. They are whiffing 24.2% of the time. His weak spot has been against lefties as his fastball and changeup have struggled compared to his breaking pitches. Lefties are hitting .301/.414/.616 against him. But, Mena has the profile of a starting pitcher that can excel in MLB.
