Arizona Diamondbacks: 2020 Preview, Prediction
This is an Arizona Diamondbacks team that is trending heavily in a positive direction and their lineup now consists of a lot of power and players that are lined up to jump to star level any day now.
- Carson Kelly- Catcher
- Christian Walker- First Base
- Ketel Marte- Second Base
- Nick Ahmed- Shortstop
- Eduardo Escobar- Third Base
- David Peralta- Left Field
- Starling Marte- Center Field
- Kole Calhoun- Right Field
I absolutely love this lineup, and the addition of Starling Marte is going to put them over the top. Don’t forget we also have Jake Lamb in the mix as well and he’s a guy who has hit 30 homers in a season before.
This D-Backs lineup is as deep as they come with this powerhouse lineup and utility guys behind them like Josh Rojas, Idlemaro Vargas, and Tim Locastro. We also have guys coming up from the minors that can all make impacts on this team in 2020 such as Wyatt Mathisen, Andy Young, Kevin Cron, and the always intriguing Yasmany Tomas as the Triple-A options they have as well as the Double-A guys that are highly-touted prospects such as Daulton Varsho, Pavin Smith, Drew Ellis, and Seth Beer.
Any and all of these guys can come up this year and make a serious impact. All of them can hit for average and power, and in the case of a guy like Varsho, we may even see him make the big leap to the big leagues with the backup catcher’s position available to be overtaken. I’m definitely excited to see this entire D-Backs lineup and (hopefully at some point) all of these prospects get up to the Majors.
