Who have the D-backs selected in the 2025 MLB Draft? ...Middle East

By the completion of the 2025 MLB Draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks will have a fresh new crop of players they hope to develop into the franchise’s next generation of talent.

Here’s a complete overview of their picks.

D-backs day 1 selections (Rounds 1-3)

SS Kayson Cunningham:

The Diamondbacks drafted shortstop Kayson Cunningham from Lady Bird Johnson High School in Texas with the No. 18 overall pick in the first round.

Cunningham, a left-handed hitter who hit .509 in his senior season and the No. 1 overall ranked in Texas for the class of 2025, according to Perfect Game, is committed to Texas and recently won the 2024-25 Gatorade Texas Baseball Player of the Year.

RHP Patrick Forbes:

The D-backs didn’t wait too long for their next pick, taking pitcher Patrick Forbes at pick No. 29. The D-backs received pick 29 as compensation due to Christian Walker declining a qualifying offer with the team and signing a $60 million contract in free agency with the Houston Astros.

Forbes started 15 games for the Louisville Cardinals last season, pitching 71.1 innings for a 4.42 ERA and 14.8 strikeouts per nine innings.

Forbes missed some time with Louisville last season but made it back in time to help them reach the College World Series.

MLB Pipeline writes:

As Forbes concentrates all of his energy on pitching, the hope is that he’ll be able to improve his changeup and strike-throwing. His delivery features some effort and he missed two starts in April with a flexor strain, though he recaptured his stuff when he returned and helped Louisville reach the College World Series. If everything comes together, he could fit in the front half of a big league rotation.

The Diamondbacks didn’t have a second-round pick or competitive balance round B pick due to the acquisitions of Corbin Burnes in free agency and Josh Naylor through a trade with Cleveland.

RHP Brian Curley:

The D-backs used their third-round selection on pitcher Brian Curley out of Georgia. In 17 appearances and 66 innings pitched, Curley posted an ERA of 3.55 with 85 strikeouts and only 27 walks.

MLB Pipeline writes that Curley has a strong blend of pitches in his arsenal.

Curley not only deals at 94-97 mph and reaches 100 with his fastball, but he also produces high spin rates and difficult carry, and has maintained his velocity through longer outings. He also has shown the ability to miss bats with three different breaking balls, the best of which is a mid-80s slider with impressive depth.

Now that we’ve covered the D-backs day 1 one selections from the MLB Draft, let’s take a look at who the D-backs picked on day 2 of the draft.

D-backs day 2 selections (Rounds 4-20)

RHP Dean Livingston

Livingston was drafted straight out of high school after his first season of making the rotation and is listed at 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds.

OF Nathan Hall

After picking three straight pitchers, the Diamondbacks selected their first outfielder of the draft in Hall. In Hall’s first season playing for South Carolina, he played in 54 games and averaged .322 from the plate with 38 RBIs and an OBP of .397. Hall played in center field for South Carolina last season but offers versatility in all outfield positions.

RHP Sawyer Hawks

Hawks has struggled with inactivity and injuries in past seasons but had a bounce-back year in his second season with Vanderbilt this spring. In 18 games and 45 innings pitched, Hawks had a 1.60 ERA with 59 strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.800.

LHP Joe Ariola

Ariola is the first left-handed pitcher selected by the D-backs in this draft. Ariola comes from a successful Wake Forest program that has had seven pitchers selected in the first four rounds of the last two MLB drafts. Ariola offers a strong fastball-curveball combination with a solid frame, but his streaky command will limit his potential and serve him as a developmental prospect for the D-backs.

RHP Jack Martinez

Keeping the trend of drafting pitchers going, the Diamondbacks selected RHP Jack Martinez in the eighth round out of Arizona State. Martinez had a tough year on the mound in his first season with the Sun Devils. He finished the season with a record of 6-4 and an ERA of 5.47 in 77.1 innings pitched.

SS Wallace Clark

Selected in the ninth round, Clark is the team’s first selection from outside of the United States. Clark is from the United Kingdom and played shortstop for Duke this past season. In 60 games, Clark had a batting average of .307 and an OBP of .478. He is the second shortstop taken by the Diamondbacks this draft after Cunningham.

SS Brady Counsell

The Diamondbacks decided to double down on shortstops with the selection of Counsell in the tenth round. Counsell is an experienced athlete playing a total of 196 baseball games in college. In his lone season with Kansas, Counsell had a batting average of .259 and an OBP of .378. He also had 12 home runs and 57 RBIs on the year.

Counsell is also the son of Cubs manager and former D-backs player Craig Counsell.
