Five young men will don caps and gowns atop Diamondbacks uniforms on Friday morning in the Dominican Republic, where club officials will present them with high school diplomas.They represent the first graduating class in a program that's believed to be the first of its kind. For years, every major-league club has operated a Dominican academy where players as young as 16 begin their professional careers. The Diamondbacks' academy in Boca Chica is the first to also offer players a classroom education.

"It doesn't make sense to say I'm anti-analytics," La Russa said. "I was a preparation freak. When I came into managing, I had been a (poor) player. I had only managed a little bit in the minor leagues. The only way to survive was to collect as much information as I could."
