Ryan Wheeler worked out for the Diamondbacks, Giants, Mariners, Padres and Dodgers at their respective major league parks. He also had a workout for the Cardinals. The Diamondbacks, placing an emphasis on hitters in the early rounds, were pleased to find that Wheeler was available in the 5th round with the 156th overall pick.
“I think it’s a really good fit for both of us,” Wheeler said. “I thought I saw the ball real well in their park and I know they were looking for bats. I’m looking forward to getting started.”
