On Tuesday Jim recapped some of the best single game pitching debuts in Diamondbacks franchise history. Coincidentally, the excitement over the outings from Merrill Kelly and Jon Duplantier got me thinking about the possible usage of rookie pitchers for the team in 2019.
There are 9 pitchers on the 40 man roster with Rookie Status still intact, including Jon Duplantier, Merrill Kelly, Yoan Lopez, Taylor Clarke, Joey Krehbiel, Joel Payamps, Jimmie Sherfy, Bo Takahashi, & Emilio Vargas.
