The Diamondbacks are hoping for a little luck on Tuesday evening in MLB’s inaugural draft lottery.
SAN DIEGO — With baseball’s inaugural draft lottery set for Tuesday afternoon, the Diamondbacks own a 1.4% chance of coming away with the No. 1 overall pick.
Every team that missed the playoffs last season — so long as they have not forfeited their first-round pick by, say, signing a particular free agent — is eligible to participate in the lottery, which will determine the top six selections. The Diamondbacks are sending Assistant General Manager Mike Fitzgerald — who is “the luckiest guy in our office,” according to Hazen — to be their representative when the ping-pong balls drop.“I will wear a button-down shirt, which I will separate if we get the first pick,” he said.If the Diamondbacks do not claim one of the top six picks, they will get the 11th pick based on reverse order of standings.
