Arizona’s ace has the Diamondbacks locked and loaded for a three-team showdown for the NL West title.
Over the course of the first two months of the season, the Arizona Diamondbacks have been one of the league’s most improved teams. The most surprising aspect to the Diamondbacks’s resurgence has been the improvement of ace Zack Greinke. The Arizona Diamondbacks gave Zack Greinke the highest annual contract for a pitcher in MLB history with the expectation that he would front a starting rotation to propel the Diamondbacks into playoff contention.
In Greinke’s first season with Arizona, he did not meet this expectation.
