Entering the 2015 season, the Arizona Diamondbacks are expected to be in a rebuilding mode but with a bright future.
Young players are dominating the D-backs rotation and starting lineup thus far in spring training. Chase Anderson (27), Rubby De La Rosa (26), Jeremy Hellickson (27) and Archie Bradley (22) are all confirmed as part of the rotation.
In the lineup, Chris Owings (23), Nick Ahmed (25) and Ender Inciarte (24) join Paul Goldschmidt, Mark Trumbo and A.J. Pollock as players under 30 who are entering the primes of their careers.
The abundance of youth will allow these players to grow and mature at the big league level right away. That bodes well for the future in Arizona.
Who among the young talent is poised to enjoy a breakout season in 2015? Let’s find out.
