Diamondbacks select prep outfielder Corbin Carroll No. 16 overall

With the 16th pick in the 2019 MLB amateur draft, the Arizona Diamondbacks selected Corbin Carroll, an outfielder out of Seattle.

The UCLA commit dominated at every showcase he attended in 2018, flaunting an elite plate approach and plus speed on the basepath. The 18-year-old has the ability to stick at center and has shown some increased power despite not relying on it at any stage so far.

MLB.com money quote: "(Carroll) has drawn comparisons to hitters like Jacoby Ellsbury and Andrew Benintendi, slightly undersized left-handed hitters who grew into their power at the next level. Carroll could follow in that path and while that pair ended up being first-round picks out of college, Carroll should be an early selection out of high school."
