View Draft Report
Diaz hasn't received as much attention as other ACC shortstops but has quietly put together a strong year for the Wolfpack, hitting .374/.407/.509 with 23 doubles in 222 at-bats. He has a stocky build at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds and is a solid defender at shortstop, but not a lock to stick at the position. He makes the routine plays and is a fringy runner. His bat is light, but he consistently puts the ball in play.
