D-backs Sign 20 Players Out of their 2023 Draft Class

The Diamondbacks selected 21 players in the 2023 MLB First Year Player Draft earlier this month, headlined by Stanford infielder Tommy Troy in the first round. Troy was the first of 20 straight college players taken in the draft. The selection of 20 college players is a major change in direction compared to the past two drafts, where the team had taken 14 and 13 college players. Scouting director Ian Rebhan denied any possibility of a strategy in play with these picks, insisting that's just how they lined up on his draft board.

This year's draft features players from some of the top collegiate programs, with the organization picking out of powerhouse programs such as Stanford, Dallas Baptist, Tennessee, and Florida. They also selected 14 college arms in the draft, with the focus mainly on landing high octane arms from the sixth round and later with an emphasis on strikeouts and raw stuff. 12 of their final 15 selections were college pitchers.

In terms of draft bonus figures, as of the time of this writing, 13 players count towards their $11,084,300 draft pool. Here are the players and their reported signing bonuses.
