In this story:

We're now two months into the 2023 season, so we have a reliable enough sample to make adjustments to the Diamondbacks Top 30 Prospects list. In this midseason update, we'll factor in breakout performances, underlying stats beyond OPS and ERA, and tools. For comparison, here's the list from the start of the season.

Rookies Corbin Carroll, Ryne Nelson, and Drey Jameson have graduated from the list, as all three players have spent 45 days on the active roster between 2022 and 2023. Kristian Robinson has also been reinstated from the restricted list and assigned to an affiliate, so he becomes a prospect once again. 

Without further ado, here's the midseason Top 30:

  1. RHP Brandon Pfaadt
  2. SS Jordan Lawlar
  3. OF Druw Jones
  4. RHP Bryce Jarvis
  5. LHP Blake Walston
  6. RHP Slade Cecconi
  7. LHP Yu-Min Lin
  8. RHP Landon Sims
  9. OF Dominic Fletcher
  10. SS Blaze Alexander
  11. 2B Ryan Bliss
  12. OF Dominic Canzone
  13. 1B/3B Ivan Melendez
  14. RHP Dylan Ray
  15. 3B/1B Deyvison De Los Santos
  16. 3B/OF/1B A.J. Vukovich
  17. OF Kristian Robinson
  18. OF Wilderd Patino
  19. SS/2B Manuel Peña
  20. RHP Joe Elbis
  21. SS/2B Cristofer Torin
  22. 3B Ruben Santana
  23. OF Jorge Barrosa
  24. RHP Yilber Diaz
  25. RHP Justin Martinez
  26. SS Jose Fernandez
  27. 2B Andrew Pintar
  28. RHP Conor Grammes
  29. OF Gian Zapata
  30. LHP Nate Savino

We will be publishing detailed analysis behind rankings and which prospects to keep an eye on in the second half of the season over the next couple of days, so keep an eye out for that. Additionally there will be another list update after the 2023 MLB Draft, where the D-backs have three of the Top 63 selections.
