Professional career

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees selected Diehl in the 27th round of the 2016 MLB draft.[4] He signed with the Yankees for $50,000 rather than return to college, and was assigned to the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York-Penn League.[5] He began the 2018 season with the Tampa Tarpons of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League and was promoted to the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League.[6]

Colorado Rockies

On March 23, 2019, Diehl was traded to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for Mike Tauchman.[7] After the trade, he played for the Hartford Yard Goats, and the Albuquerque Isotopes.[8]

On June 10, 2019, his contract was selected and he was called up to the major leagues for the first time.[9] He made his debut on June 11 versus the Chicago Cubs, allowing two runs in one inning of relief.[10]
