The Arizona Diamondbacks have three picks in the first round of the draft and could take a high floor college player to start before going after top-tier high school talent. Shortstop Griff O'Ferrall from Virginia is a potential steal with his impressive .344/.408/.443 batting line and Team USA experience. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers may take a chance on catcher Malcolm Moore from Stanford, whose sophomore season stats suggest he could be a draft steal despite a slight dip in performance this year. These two players represent intriguing choices for their respective teams, showcasing the balance between proven performance and untapped potential in the MLB draft.
