2030 Season Recap

I've been so excited playing this current season that I didn't have much time putting together weekly series wrap up reports so let me bring everyone up to speed. After a fast start in the first month where Arizona had a league best 20-8 record, ended up going through a brief losing streak which saw the Dodgers overtake first place in the division and leave the Diamondbacks battling with the San DIego Padres for second place and a wild card post season berth. Following the All-Star break Arizona was playing good baseball and gained some momentum and pulled away from the Padres in the standings and claimed the top wild card spot for the playoffs. The Diamondbacks finished with a 98-64 record. It was the 2nd time in 5 seasons that they won 95 games or more and for the 5th straight season improved in total wins for the season. Paul Skenes won the 2030 Cy Young Award. All five starters in the rotation won 10 games or more during the season and A.J. Puk split the closer role with Justin Martinez (one of the D-Backs highest minor league prospects). I will provide full game by game recaps of the 2030 MLB playoffs coming up next.
