In this story:

The Arizona Diamondbacks have seen quite a few breakout years from their prospects. The opposite is true for many of their top prospects entering this year who have struggled to stay healthy. However, this is a system on the rise, especially after adding four potential impact talents in the 2024 MLB Draft.

The Diamondbacks system should be ranked in the top third of MLB. These D-backs prospects will fuel the team's contention for the next 3-5 years. This system is full of youth and lower-level performers who are having solid years and will rise over the next one to two years.

These rankings were updated after the MLB Trade Deadline when Mike Hazen traded multiple prospects. The two prospects that Hazen dealt away were star prospect Deyvison De Los Santos and outfielder Andrew Pintar.

Regardless, this is a bright system with plenty of potential and multiple high-caliber floors across a multitude of positions. There's even more talent that won't be listed below like Kyle Backhus who is a strong reliever but doesn't pitch enough to rank in the top-30.

ETA's of prospects come from MLB Pipeline or Baseball Reference.

These are the cumulative rankings among the four writers here, Jack Sommers, Alex D'Agostino, Aaron Hughes, and Jake Oliver.
