No. 1 (Arizona) - Justin Upton, Great Bridge (Va.) High

The Diamondbacks opened what would become an epic draft by taking the younger brother of Devil Rays slugger B.J. Upton. The outfielder Justin Upton has not disappointed, shredding through minor-league pitching and earning a call-up late last season.
