View Draft Report
School: Vanderbilt
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age at Draft: 21.4
Diaz was a top-100 prospect out of high school who stood out as a consistent performer throughout his youth and played with USA Baseball’s 12U and 15U national teams. He’s a glove-first player who has soft hands and impressive defensive actions and instincts, with the arm strength and aptitude to play both shortstop and third base. For as polished as Diaz is with the glove, he’s still waiting on the bat to come around. In two seasons with Vanderbilt the 5-foot-11, 188-pound infielder is a career .241/.366/.361 hitter, though he did show some on-base ability in a 28-game stint with Brewster in the Cape Cod League where he hit .284/.417/.422.

Age At Draft: 21.4
Diaz was a top-100 prospect out of high school who stood out as a consistent performer throughout his youth and played with USA Baseball’s 12U and 15U national teams. Now a 5-foot-11, 188-pound third baseman for Vanderbilt, Diaz remains a glove first prospect who is a career .243/.360/.369 hitter who doesn’t have the sort of offensive package to profile at the hot corner. He has played some shortstop in college, including in multiple summers in the Cape Cod League and has the defensive versatility to handle all infield positions. Diaz is a contact hitter who lacks much power, with nearly all of his college game power going to the pull side, though he also minimizes his strikeouts and will work counts to draw a walk.
