Diamondbacks promoted OF Slade Caldwell to High-A Hillsboro.
Caldwell has put together an extremely impressive professional debut after being selected 29th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, slashing .294/.460/.454 with 18 extra-base hits and 13 steals across 216 plate appearances over 48 games for Low-A Visalia. The 18-year-old outfielder has shown an ability to make consistent hard contact with a compact swing and figures to grow into some additional over-the-fence pop. His all-around ability makes him intriguing from a fantasy standpoint where he’s top-75 range prospect for dynasty purposes heading towards midseason updates.
