JD Dix News: Angling for promotion

Dix is batting .341/.415/.476 with 11 extra-base hits, eight steals, 15 RBI and 24 runs scored over 32 games in the Arizona Complex League.

Dix, a 19-year-old middle infielder whom Arizona drafted 35th overall in 2024, looks like he's ready for the next level. He's riding a 24-game on-base streak and has a modest 19.0 strikeout percentage for the ACL D-backs. He's still getting his base-level strength back following shoulder surgery last autumn, but the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder projects 15-to-20 home-run potential the farther he's removed from the surgery. Dix has mostly played second base in the ACL but has experience at all infield spots from his days in Wisconsin.
