Of the 36 pitchers that took the mount for the Snakes in 2021, only Joe Mantiply, Kevin Ginkel, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly remain, which shows how crazy fast pitchers can get burned by a team. For Joe Mantiply, 2024 was his 5th season as a Diamondback. It shows how much the Diamondbacks have gone to appreciate his work and with the team, so have we gone to appreciate him over the years.
It was in 2020, when Mantiply was designated for assignment but stayed with the team and the AZSnakePit was harsher for humans than the Sahara desert, using descriptions as “multiplying baserunners” or “clown act” when referring to Joe Mantiply.
