Diamondbacks acquired OF Avery Owusu-Asiedu from the Phillies for LHP Kyle Backhus.
The 22-year-old outfielder was a ninth-round selection by the Phillies from the 2023 draft class. Owusu-Asiedu slashed a respectable .258/.366/.385 with seven homers, 44 RBI, 33 stolen bases and a 102/58 K/BB ratio over 425 plate appearances between Single-A Clearwater and High-A Jersey Shore in 2025. He’s likely a couple of years away from being an option to help out the Diamondbacks at the major league level.
