The Diamondbacks used the 1,020th overall pick of the draft on Arizona State's Cory Hahn, an outfielder who was partially paralyzed during a game in 2011, according to an ESPN.com report on Saturday.

"It was a very emotional selection for us to make," Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall said. "When (scouting director) Ray Montgomery and his staff came up with the idea and presented it to me, it was a no-brainer."
