The Nogales High School standout is selected by the D-Backs in the seventh round; plus: Daniel Susac’s outlook in the Oakland A’s organization.
That’s the choice Nogales High School shortstop Demetrio Crisantes faces after the D-backs selected him in the seventh round of the MLB draft Monday.
“The Diamondbacks are going to have to hit that number,” UA coach Chip Hale told ESPN 1490. “If they don't get there, then you’re a Wildcat.” Ian Rebhan, the Diamondbacks’ director of amateur scouting, lauded Crisantes’ upside. He doesn’t turn 18 until Sept. 5.“You do a lot of work scouting the player, you get to that point where he is on your board and we kind weigh all our options,” Rebhan said. “At that point, we really valued Demetrio’s total tool set.”
Susac, taken with the 19th pick after back-to-back All-America campaigns at Arizona, joins an organization that’s stocked with catching talent. The Athletics’ top two prospects, per MLB.com, are catchers: Shea Langeliers and Tyler Soderstrom. Both are former first-round picks. In addition, current starting catcher Sean Murphy is 27 and under team control through 2025.
