Three late round Arizona Diamondbacks draft picks to watch in 2024

The Arizona Diamondbacks have some exciting names to watch in their minor league system in 2024. Jordan Lawlar, Druw Jones and Tommy Troy were their most recent first round picks, but the likes of Ivan Melendez, Gino Groover, Jack Hurley, and Caden Grice are also intriguing names. One thing they all had in common, however, was that they were early-round picks. Hurley was taken the latest out of the names I mentioned in the third round.

But there are plenty of success stories about late-round picks. Some of the greatest players of all time, like Albert Pujols, Mike Piazza, and Nolan Ryan, are the most famous examples. Sure, they might be outliers, but the Diamondbacks have some former late-round picks who will be interesting to watch in 2024. By late-round pick, I mean anyone taken from the 8th round onward.
