It was reported on Wednesday that right-handed pitcher Derek Law has signed a minor league deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, with their Triple-A team, the Reno Aces, confirming it on Friday.
Lay down the law ⚖️ The @dbacks have signed RHP Derek Law to a Minor League Free Agent Contract with an invitation to Spring Training!
This isn’t the first time Law has been part of an organization in the National League West, as he was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the ninth round of the 2011 draft. In 2016, he made his debut for the Giants, posting a 2.13 ERA and 2.53 FIP in 55 innings. He couldn’t find that same success in either 2017 or 2018, and Law was traded early in the 2019 season.
At the end of the season, Law was a non-tender, and due to the global pandemic, Law did not pitch again until the 2021 season. The right-handed pitcher played in just nine games with the Minnesota Twins in 2021, then played in 17 games in 2022 with the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds.
It was with the Reds where Law had his first good season since his rookie year, posting a 3.60 ERA and 4.62 FIP in 55 innings pitched, playing in a total of 54 games. Law continued that success in 2024, finishing the season with a 2.60 ERA and 3.32 FIP in 90 innings pitched.
