Organization Prospect Rankings
Daigle's draft stock jumped in 1999 when he ended Barbe High of 47-game winning streak. One of several high draft picks the Diamondbacks have brought along slowly, Daigle might need all the time the organization is giving him. He signed late as a 1999 supplemental first-round and didn't begin his professional career until last summer. He spent time in extended spring training because of a tender right arm. Daigle has the physical presence to dominate but needs plenty of work. He throws his fastball at 90-91 mph but is raw. His command and secondary pitches are lacking at this point. Arizona officials believe Daigle, who attended a small high school, will get accustomed to stiffer competition. He likely will start 2001 at South Bend but could jump to Lancaster at midseason.
