There is no sugar-coating it. The 2021 season was an unmitigated disaster, the Diamondbacks finishing the season tied for the worst record in baseball. Only by virtue of sucking less in 2020 than their cellar-dwelling counterparts in the previous season did they manage to technically finish the season ranked 29/30 instead of dead last. This led to no shortage of calls for Ken Kendrick and Derrick Hall to clean house and start over. That did not happen. Instead, Mike Hazen and Torey Lovullo were given the opportunity to fix things. While the repair process is far from complete, the 2022 version of the team was massively improved, if not still one with plenty of flaws.
