Lemieux, a distant cousin of hockey legend Mario Lemieux, was first drafted in 2015 in the 14th round by the Nationals after finishing his Florida high school career. Instead of signing, he chose to play junior-college ball at Palm Beach State, where he recorded a 2.79 ERA and struck out nearly a batter per inning. Selected by the Diamondbacks in the sixth round in 2016 and signed for $278,500, Lemieux started his pro career with seven strong starts in the Rookie-level Arizona League before heading to short-season Hillsboro. He recorded a 3.03 ERA with 43 strikeouts in 35.2 innings between the two levels. Lemieux has good body control and a quick arm that delivers a fastball that sits 90-91 mph and touches 93. There is room on his frame to add strength, so that velocity should tick up as his body matures. Both his curveball and 82-83 mph changeup project as above-average pitches. He has a loose arm with a simple high three-quarters arm slot that he repeats well. Lemieux projects as a lefthander for the middle or back of a rotation, and he should get to full-season ball in 2017 at low Class A Kane County.
