| Biography: |
| Upton, the #1 overall pick in the 2005 First Year Player Draft has been on the pro baseball radar forever. The younger brother of Devil Rays third base prospect (and #2 overall selection) BJ Upton, Justin has been called "The best prep position prospect since Ken Griffey Jr." With all those expectations the Diamondbacks will try to slow play Upton, giving him an entire year in South Bend to master his new position, center field, and get comfortable with the pro game. From then on, all bets are off, as Upton will move at exactly the pace he sets for himself. |
