The D-backs took Outfielder Slade Caldwell in the late first round of the MLB Draft, he's set up to be an important part of the team's future outlook in the coming years.
With the 29th pick of the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Outfielder Slade Caldwell out of Valley View High School in Arkansas. The explosive outfielder is a part of a similar trend of smaller, fast, great bat skills outfielders taken in the Mike Hazen draft history.
Caldwell has been compared to a smaller Corbin Carroll. He has 65 grade run on a 20-80 scale. His hit tool is 55 as he has excellent contact skills and bat speed. He's considered an energy or jitterbug. He provides boundless energy especially out in the outfield. His glove will play though he's likely to develop into a corner outfielder instead of center fielder.
