PROSPECT: Ryan Bliss, 2B/SS, Arizona Diamondbacks ANALYSIS: Coming out of high school in Georgia, Ryan Bliss was secure in his commitment to Auburn.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Dominic Canzone is one of this season's biggest prospect risers. He came into the 2023 season as a relative unknown, ranking lower in Arizona's prospect hierarchy.
