Crisantes, an infielder, is MLB.com’s 74th-ranked prospect and is one of 12 top-100 prospects participating in the Phoenix-based Arizona Fall League this year. The Diamondbacks’ seventh-round pick in 2022, Crisantes has 10 home runs, 53 RBIs and a .292/.374/.477 slash line in 325 at-bats across four minor-league levels this season.
