The Diamondbacks rotation scuffled in 2016, with Archie Bradley, Patrick Corbin, and Shelby Miller being the faces of that struggle. The Diamondbacks are banking on them rebounding in 2017 with better catching behind the plate with Welington Castillo likely to be elsewhere and Jeff Mathis catching a few of their starts this year. The team is best served to find another quality handler of the pitching staff to split up the duties behind the plate furthermore.
Shelby Miller: While Miller’s fastball velocity was down in 2016, it was trending in the right direction at the tail-end of the season.
