Diamondbacks Pitching Rotation Hits Historic Highs
13 May
Summary
- The Diamondbacks' current pitching rotation is performing at its best since 2022.
- This streak is the best five-game stretch with different starters since 2019.
- Zac Gallen could significantly boost the team's average with a better outing.
The Arizona Diamondbacks' pitching rotation is currently experiencing a remarkable streak of success, achieving its highest average game score since a run around the All-Star Break in 2022. This current five-game stretch, which includes five different starting pitchers, is the best the team has seen since September 2019. Despite this impressive performance, the current streak ranks tied for 58th all-time in franchise history, with the best recorded stretch achieving an average game score of 74.8.
There is still significant potential for improvement, particularly with pitcher Zac Gallen. His last start recorded a game score of 47, and an improved outing could further elevate the team's five-game rolling average. A score exceeding 60 would surpass the 2022 streak, and a score of 69 or better would best the 2018 performance. To match the franchise record, Gallen would need a career-best-tying score of 89.
