Arizona Diamondbacks: 3 Biggest Surprises Since 2018 All-Star Break

A lot has changed for the Arizona Diamondbacks since the 2018 All-Star break, with most of it being positive.

When the Arizona Diamondbacks sentPaul Goldschmidt,Zack Greinke, andPatrick Corbinto the 2018 All-Star Game, the team was nine games over .500 with the Colorado Rockies seriously threatening. Since then, they’ve flip-flopped out of first place in the NL West, improved their record, and pulled a little further away from the Colorado Rockies. Most importantly, they’ve improved their roster with a flurry of trades before the July 31st deadline.

It’s a good time to be a supporter of the D-Backs right now. Each night they show a lot of grit, and even if they lose, they go down with a fight. Plus, this group, with the likes ofArchie BradleyandSteven SouzaJr., is just an extremely likeable bunch of dudes.

Now, the team is getting ready to finish up their nine-game homestand before hitting the road for nine games. Luckily, their upcoming road trip will be against three teams — Cincinnati, Texas, and San Diego — that are without a lot of promise. Arizona could find themselves in a situation where they jump into first place and stay there.

But before the stretch run gets going, we need to check in on the biggest surprises since the All-Star break. Fortunately, most of them have been of the positive variety.
