Well, if you’d said at the start of the year - or even considerably later - that Brandon Pfaadt would be starting Game 1 in the post-season for the D-backs, I’d have requested a drug test. But here we are, with the team’s top-ranked pitching prospect completing his rookie season by getting Arizona’s playoff campaign under way in Milwaukee tonight. At age 24, he’ll be the second youngest starting pitcher ever for the Diamondbacks. Brandon loses out by about five months to Daniel Hudson, who was also 24 when he started Game 2 of the 2011 Division Series - by coincidence, also in Milwaukee against the Brewers.
