You thought we need a lot of starting pitching? Wait till you get into the bullpen. All told, the Diamondbacks used THIRTY different relievers this year. It’s only the second time Arizona has needed more than twenty-five, the other time being for the post-COVID campaign of 2021, when a mind-numbing 35 relievers were used. [Of the ten times in baseball history a team has needed 35+ bullpen arms in a season. six came in that year, include the all-time mark of 38 by the Orioles] Now, that number does include Jose Herrera, Carson Kelly, Josh Rojas and Seby Zavala, who worked a total of 6.
