R.J. Anderson wrote: "Arizona started its night by taking prep outfielder Corbin Carroll 16th. The Diamondbacks then went pitching-heavy for most of the rest of the evening, selecting Blake Walston, Brennan Malone, Drey Jameson, Ryne Nelson, and Tommy Henry before picking collegiate outfielder Dominic Fletcher to round out their haul. For those wondering, the Diamondbacks landed the 15th-, 20th-, 49th-, 52nd-, 59th-, 85th-, and 91st-best prospects in the draft, per MLB.com. To put it another -- a junk stat way -- the sum of the Diamondbacks' pick slots was 314, while the sum of their picks' pre-draft rankings was 371. The odds of the Diamondbacks having a franchise-altering draft aren't kind, but Arizona seemed to do fine."

David Kenyon wrote: "The busy evening provided a much-needed jolt to Arizona's farm system. Carroll projects as a contact hitter with plus speed, and five pitchers give the Diamondbacks a variety of new options."

Of the team's first pick, Matt Martell wrote: "Don’t let Caroll’s small frame—5’10” and 170 pounds—deceive you. He’s one of the more advanced high school hitters in the draft. And he isn’t just a singles guy. Carroll has a tremendous understanding of the strike zone and is a patient hitter. As he matures, he could develop average power for a major-leaguer. Plus, Carroll is one of the best defensive centerfielders in the class who can flat-out fly on the bases."

Of the team's second pick, he wrote: "Walston has a ton of potential, with an ideal frame (6'4", 174 pounds) for a high school lefthander. He's an impressive athlete with a strong arm who could easily put on 30-40 pounds that will add some more life to his fastball, which currently sits between 86-91 mph."

Joel Reuter gave the team As and Bs for each of their picks on the first day. He wrote: "Just as I expected, they took college players with four straight picks after grabbing three high-ceiling high schoolers early. There should be enough flexibility in the bonus pool to sign all seven of their Day 1 picks."

Dan Bernstein wrote: "The Diamondbacks entered the 2019 MLB Draft with few high-level prospects already in their system but more selections in the first two rounds than any other team. As a result, they were able to replenish their farm at a time when the big league roster is performing above expectations - currently around .500 and still in the NL postseason race. With the help of so many young additions, they could theoretically open a new contention window soon after this one closes or simply extend their run of success, avoiding a harsh rebuild in the process."
