Ryan Waldschmidt Could Break Camp with Arizona
Arizona Diamondbacks top outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt could break camp with the MLB roster. According to Baseball America, the Kentucky product appears to be entering camp with a legitimate chance to make the Opening Day roster as outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (knee) is expected to miss at least the first half of the season, recovering from a torn ACL. Additionally, the Diamondbacks also shipped depth outfielder Jake McCarthy to the Colorado Rockies, further opening a position for Waldschmidt. The 23-year-old has yet to even debut at Triple-A, but has seen his prospect stock soar. In 2025, Waldschmidt split the seasons at High-A and Double-A and held an overall .289/.419/.473 line with an .812 OPS. He showed an elite eye at the plate, posting a 96:106 K:BB. Managers in the deeper leagues should continue to closely monitor his status, as he could be worth a late-round flyer if he performs well in camp.
