Wade Miley was with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first four seasons of his career, and in his second season, he had his best season in baseball. In that year, Miley who was still considered a rookie put up 16 Wins and went to the All-Star Game. Miley was the runner-up for the Rookie of the Year to Bryce Harper.
As of this writing, Infielder Ketel Marte has completed seven seasons for the Diamondbacks and his versatility in the infield has made him a valuable commodity for the team. Marte made history as the first player in postseason history to have two triples in a game hit from both sides of the plate, which he accomplished in the 2017 National League Wildcard Game. In 2018, he would lead the NL in Triples. This was good, but he would break out in 2019, which was the necessary step needed to make him the face of the franchise.
In terms of baseball history, Jay Bell is probably better known for his time with the Pittsburgh Pirates where he was an All Star in 1993, but it was in Arizona (where he was an All-Star in 1999) where he would win the World Series.
Brad Ziegler never started a game for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Actually he never started a game anywhere in the Majors.
Damian Miller had a solid career in the Majors, where his best run occurred as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Miller was a workmanlike Catcher who was defensively sound and he would twice lead all National League Catchers in Range Factor per Game. He was also named an All-Star in 2002.
In the first four seasons of Jose Valverde’s Major League career, he seemingly was fighting for the closers role with the Diamondbacks. When he would win it, injuries would take it away or a slump might have cost him the role. In that time frame the Dominican reliever who would become known as “Papa Grande” would accumulate 56 Saves. That wasn’t bad, but it was in 2007 where he was the undisputed closer of the team where he did more than enough to land him on this list.
Robbie Ray was a starter for the Diamondbacks for five and a half seasons. During his first two seasons with the D-backs, Ray struck out many batters but gave up a considerable number of runs, resulting in losing records. However, 2017 was a significantly different story.
Orlando Hudson would be traded to Arizona from the Toronto Blue Jays and the D-Backs were not disappointed with the defensive presence that he would bring to their infield.
