In what was one of the deepest MLB Drafts of the past few years, the Arizona Diamondbacks came away with a plethora of new pitching talent.

It is still unknown as to whether Archie Bradley will sign with the Diamondbacks or play football at the University of Oklahoma, but the D-backs front office is excited about both Bradley and Trevor Bauer.

“It was a good draft,” Diamondbacks General Manager Kevin Towers told Sports 620 KTAR’s Doug and Wolf. “There was a lot of depth in this year’s draft. We are really excited about Trevor Bauer and Archie Bradley. Those are two guys that we think are two top of the rotation impact guys.”
