Diamondbacks signs former rival player of the dealing of the Division of the Little League deal – poisonous strikes

DiamondBacks continue to add more field depth to their camp list, signing assistant Gareth Hampson in a minor -league deal with Big League’s spring workout. This move was announced by the branch of the Triple-A, Reno Aces team.

DiamondBacks are familiar with Hampson during his time with Colorado rocky rocks from 2018 to 2022. The assistant registered more than 600 submissions both in medium -sized places for installation and in a central field during his career. His protective flexibility gives him a competitive advantage to make the list of opening day, with good defensive estimates of both short and central fields.

Hampson will compete in the spring with some of the other ports on the list. The team picked up a gay keysger in minor trade earlier during the month. Hampson will compete with keysger, Blaze Alexander and Tim bench Thane.

While Hampson’s calling card is a defensive flexibility, he is not a very striker. For his career he is .240 p .662 ops. There is not much in the power supply unit or on a base, with a career walk (7.7%) and average output speed (86.4 miles / h) below the average of the main league.

Given that Geraldo Perdomo is the launch of the club, it is more likely that Hampson see repetitions in the field if it makes the list. In short, Hampson is +5 defensive tracks, saved and 0 outs above average while estimating -9 DRS and +14 OAA in the center.

An area in which he was strong is facing the leftists. While holding the advantage of the platoon, Hampson conducts a career .254/.321/.398 Slash Line. The .321 base rate will help to extend Arizona composition against left -handed.

It is unclear whether there is a refusal to his contract if he fails to make the club. If not, he will have the chance to play for his team in his hometown while waiting for a large league opportunity.

Diamondbacks still have a job to complete their list in the last weeks of the extra season. Landing a closer and right-wing bat is still on the list of tasks of General Manager Mike Hazen.
