The Arizona Diamondbacks haven’t won 90 or made the postseason since 2017, and the franchise owns just four such seasons since winning it all in 2001.
The future looks bright, however, and the impact talent the D-Backs have been developing is starting to show up in the big leagues.

Despite missing 2020 (canceled season) and all but seven games in 2021 (shoulder), the 2019 first-round reached the big leagues last season and appears equipped to star immediately thanks to blazing speed, a plus hit tool, and underrated pop.
