Clean sheets

3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 22 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 54.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.6, Díaz carries the 33rd-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga MX of 65, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Mazatlán finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
