Widely doubted outfielder Pavin Smith helped the Diamondbacks overcome an early deficit with a three-run homer in the second inning against the Colorado Rockies, and the D-backs led the rest of the way. Drey Jameson was outstanding out of the bullpen in his first appearance since being called up. We discuss Smith’s future and whether Jameson will remain a reliever…
Diamondbacks fans have long anticipated the major league debut of top pitching prospect, Brandon Pfaadt, as well as legal clearance for the player formerly deemed the organization’s top overall prospect, Kristian Robinson. Both happened last week — and within 48 hours of each other. We have only good news to report on Robinson — more on that later — but…
After 13 games, the 2023 Diamondbacks are doing about as well as anyone could hope. Despite having played the hardest schedule in baseball, according to Baseball-Reference, the Diamondbacks stand atop the NL West with an 8-5 record.

Just two weeks after learning that he was being moved to the bullpen for the first time in his professional career, Diamondbacks right-hander Drey Jameson is now re-acclimating to being a starter. The change came as a result of Zach Davies straining his left oblique in his start on Saturday. The Diamondbacks had several options to choose from to take…
Since spring training began, right-hander Drey Jameson did everything he could to land the elusive fifth spot in the Diamondbacks’ rotation. But he was also adamant that he wasn’t going to lose sleep over it. “I can only do what I can do, and I’m going to do everything in my power.” he said on March 4. “But at the…

In two starts, Jameson has pitched four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and one…
With Evan Longoria and Zach Davies reportedly in the fold on one-year deals, the Diamondbacks’ offseason to-do list is nearing completion and the 2023 roster is taking shape. It is hard to say if any individual move to date has meaningfully moved the ball forward for 2023, but the team as a whole looks better on paper. In addition to…

Heck, the San Francisco Giants just signed Carlos Correa — the latest addition to a long list of obstacles in what is arguably baseball’s best division. It’s that there is an increasing sense…
It is uncommon for a 74-win team such as the 2022 Arizona Diamondbacks to make as many memories as they did. This is a team that finished 37 games behind the NL West division leader and 13 games out of the National League wild card. But the boys in Sedona red established a new brand of baseball in 2022, unlike…...
From the addition of No. 2 overall pick Druw Jones to the rapid rise of top shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar, 2022 was another solid year for an Arizona Diamondbacks’ farm system that remains widely regarded as one of the 10 best in baseball.
