The Arizona Diamondbacks continue to lock up their players selected in the 2019 MLB Draft.

The team has signed the No. 74 overall pick left-handed pitcher Tommy Henry out of Michigan, the team announced Friday.

Arizona also made the signing of No. 75 overall pick Arkansas outfielder Dominic Fletcher official.

Along with Fletcher, 16th round selection left-handed pitcher Brock Jones and 20th round selection right-handed pitcher Jared Liebelt were signed as well.

In Henry’s junior year at Michigan, he finished with a 3.27 ERA and 135 strikeouts in 20 appearances.

Michigan entered the NCAA college baseball postseason as one of the final four teams to make it in.

The team was able to advance through the tournament in part by Henry only giving up five total runs in his three starts. Including a 3-hit shutout against Flordia State in the College World Series.

The D-backs could not sign Henry until the College World Series finals was over. Michigan lost to Vanderbilt in Game 3 of the series.

Fletcher hit .317 in 64 games played his junior year with 11 home runs and an OPS of .922.

Jones went 4-3 and with a 0.80 ERA in 43.2 innings at W.F. West High School in Washington.

Liebelt played his senior year at Mississippi State and pitched 54.2 innings, posting a 2.96 ERA as a reliever.

With Friday’s signings, the D-backs have now agreed to terms with their first 23 picks and 30 of their 45 total draft selections.

The D-backs have until June 12th to sign the rest of their picks.
