Finally. Valley temperatures are dipping into double digits and the Arizona Diamondbacks are on the verge of playing postseason baseball.
For the first time since 2017, the Diamondbacks could reach the playoffs after posting losing seasons since 2019. Arizona sits in a heated NL wild-card race with nine regular-season games left.
One of the players Longoria referenced was rookie outfielder Corbin Carroll, who was called up in August of last season and played 32 games while slashing .260/.330/.500. Carroll’s instant success carried over to this season. “I kind of felt the frustration,” Carroll said. “It’s a little different for them. They’ve grinded through seasons for 180 days. I don’t think you forget that very quickly.”
It has been an up-and-down season for the Diamondbacks. The club started with a 32-23 record, good for a .581 winning percentage. But the team cooled off in July in a big way, seemingly falling out of playoff contention by the Aug. 1 trade deadline, losing 17 of 20 between July 20-August 11. However, after getting back on track by winning a three-game set against the Padres, Arizona won its next four series. The team exploded in September, winning 13 of 19 as of Thursday.
Sewald added stability to a bullpen that was ranked in the bottom 10 in the league in ERA. While Sewald’s ERA is up this year compared to his season with the Mariners, from 2.93 to 3.78, the Diamondbacks have now converted 43 saves, good for ninth in MLB and fifth in the National League. Sewald converted 12 of those saves, blowing just two opportunities.
