The Diamondbacks had the #16 and #17 spots in the first round of this year’s draft. With their first pick, they chose Bobby Bochering, a third basemen from Bishop Verot High School in Florida. He’s got plenty of size for a third basemen — he’s listed at 6′4″ and 190 lbs, and I’m sure the DBacks are expecting him to gain some weight as he progresses through the minors. He’ll likely make the move to the other side of the diamond and play first base. He wasn’t drafted for his glove, but for his hitting ability. He’s a switch hitter who puts a lot of pop on the ball.
