PHOENIX -- With seven of the first 75 selections -- and a large amount of money to use to sign those top players -- the 2019 MLB Draft could eventually be looked back upon as a pivotal point for the D-backs’ franchise.

Arizona will likely need to dip into its $16,093,700 bonus pool, the largest in MLB this year, to sign the trio of high schoolers the club took with its first three picks in the Draft, which concluded with Rounds 11-40 on Wednesday. Overall, the D-backs drafted 19 high schoolers among their 45 selections. But with that much signing power, it should help them add some of those players to the organization.

“We took some guys that slid in the Draft significantly that had signability issues and, as I was discussing over the past two days, we anticipate having some flexibility to maybe do some things,” D-backs director of scouting Deric Ladnier said. “Obviously, it would only be with a select group of players, and we’ll just see where negotiations go. It’s one of those situations where sometimes the bonus demands are high going into it, and then the expectations get lowered.”

The value of Arizona’s class could depend on whether it signs its pair of first-round picks -- outfielder Corbin Carroll (No. 16 overall, Lakeside High School, Wash.) and left-hander Blake Walston (No. 26 overall, New Hanover High School, N.C.) -- plus right-hander Brennan Malone (No. 33 overall, IMG Academy, Fla.), who was selected in the Comp A Round.

After taking eight pitchers through the first two days of the Draft, the D-backs continued to load up on arms Wednesday, taking hurlers with four of their first six Day 3 picks, including the first two -- 11th-round left-hander Nick Snyder (West Virginia University) and 12th-round southpaw Avery Short (Southport High School, Ind.).

With the D-backs’ large bonus pool, they’ll be able to spend more for the players they selected in Rounds 11-15, which could help as they try to sign Short, who is committed to Louisville. The lefty was MLB Pipeline’s No. 159 prospect in the class and has a good four-pitch mix that made him one of the top high school pitchers available. Ladnier named the southpaw as one of the Day 3 picks the club could potentially sign because of its financial flexibility.

“We’ve liked him since last year,” Ladnier said. “He’s not your prototypical power left-hander. It’s more pitch ability than anything: fastball, curveball, changeup. [He] can really throw strikes with all three of them. I guess you could say advance feel with average stuff. And he’s left-handed, which is obviously always a plus.”

Arizona drafted 27 pitchers, nine infielders, six outfielders and three catchers.

Here are several other notable selections the D-backs made over the final 30 rounds of the Draft:

• 14th round: Arizona State catcher Lyle Lin

Lin was the first player from an Arizona school selected by the D-backs this year. The junior batted .299 with nine home runs and 50 RBIs in 56 games for the Sun Devils this season while being named to the Pac-12 All-Conference team.

• 24th round: Sickles High School (Fla.) right-hander Dylan Eskew

Eskew was MLB Pipeline’s No. 130 Draft prospect, but signability is a concern regarding the right-hander, who is committed to the University of Miami. He is a two-way player for Sickles High School, which has never had a player reach the big leagues.

“We liked Eskew a lot. He’s kind of your prototypical projectable guy that flashes plus stuff but doesn’t maintain it,” Ladnier said. “I like the delivery, like the athlete. … He would be a guy that, like we talked about with some of these other ones, if they go to college and everything works out, three years from now they end up being a guy that probably gets a decent signing bonus if they go out and perform and do the things that they need to do.”

• 31st round: Jackson Prep School (Miss.) outfielder Jerrion Ealy

Ealy is another top high school player, ranked No. 66 by MLB Pipeline, but he is unlikely to sign with the D-backs. He was the top two-sport athlete in the class as he’s signed to play both baseball and football at Ole Miss. The athletic outfielder has expressed that he plans to honor those commitments to the Rebels.

• 34th round: Seton Catholic High School (Ariz.) right-hander Luke Bell

The D-backs’ 34th-round pick is known as the “Cory Hahn 34th pick,” named after the club’s coordinator of pro scouting. Hahn wore No. 34 at Arizona State, where his career was cut short when he fractured the C5 vertebrae in his neck as a freshman and was paralyzed from the chest down. This year, Arizona selected Bell, who is from Chandler, Ariz., and committed to play at Grand Canyon University, with the pick. The son of D-backs vice president of player development Mike Bell and the nephew of Reds manager David Bell, the righty is expected to honor his commitment to GCU.

“That was cool,” Ladnier said. “Obviously, it’s special first off with Cory announcing the pick, and then obviously for it to be Mike’s son is even an added bonus for it.”
