2026 Arizona Diamondbacks Prospect All Stars: Middle Infielders + Outfielders

Taking a look at the best 2026 seasons by D-backs SS, 2B, and outfielders

2026 Arizona Diamondbacks Prospect All Stars: Middle Infielders + Outfielders

In the 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks farm system, middle infielders Kayson Cunningham, Demetrio Crisantes, and JD Dix stood out as the top prospects. Cunningham, the top pick and 18th overall selection in the 2025 draft, had a strong start to his professional career, hitting .381/.471/.506 in 43 games for Visalia Rawhide before hitting .252/.360/.391 in 63 games for Hillsboro.

Crisantes spent the majority of his season in Amarillo, hitting .319/.413/.548 and hitting for the cycle. Dix, who struggled in the first half of the season, rebounded in the second half with a .253/.378/.468 triple slash and nine home runs. In the outfield, the Arizona Diamondbacks are short on depth, with Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy making MLB debuts in 2026. Both had promising seasons, but their service time makes them ineligible for consideration.
