Diaw played his high school ball at Notre Dame High School in Southern California, the same program that produced Giancarlo Stanton and Hunter Greene. He stayed close to home to go to Loyola Marymount for college but had all but eight games of his freshman year wiped out because of a back fracture. After redshirting, he had a solid first full year in 2023 for the Lions, finishing with an OPS of .896. He missed time this year with a broken left thumb from a foul tip but returned in mid-April swinging a hot bat, then suffered a sprained wrist at the end of the year, though that wasn’t expected to keep him from being seen my more scouts in the Cape Cod League this summer ahead of the Draft.
A right-handed hitter, Diaw has the chance to be a solid offensive performer. He rarely swings and misses with an aggressive, early-count approach. His swing can be a little slow to start with a lengthy path, but he’s pretty efficient through the zone once he gets his bat going. It’s more of a hit-over-power approach, but he has the chance to hit a lot of doubles with a swing geared to drive the ball to right-center field in the future. He can run into some home runs, especially to his pull side, and some scouts think there’s more raw pop to tap into.
Diaw is athletic and runs well, showing some defensive versatility that intrigues evaluators. He hasn’t been behind the dish a ton, but he is agile and has plus arm strength that could play there. He’s seen time in all three outfield positions, and while he’s best suited for a corner, he’s capable in center. With the injuries behind him, Diaw could draw a lot of Day 2 interest thanks to his positional flexibility and potential with the bat.

That didn’t keep him from being seen by more scouts in the Cape Cod League and Draft Combine, helping him land in the third round with the Twins, who signed him for an under-slot $597,500.
