Diaby is the third new player who joins HCAW.
In the first week of this month, the Bussum-club announced that infielder Delano Selassa has returned after having played four seasons for L&D Amsterdam Piraters.
Three days later, another player returned to HCAW, as as the club announced that righthanded pitcher Kaj Timmermans was added to the roster.
Timmermans pitched for Curaçao Neptunus in the past three seasons.
