Ian Kennedy had an interesting up and down career in the world of Major League Baseball but by far and wide the best season he ever had by far was in 2011.  That year Kennedy went 21 and 4 with a 2.88 Earned Run Average while finishing fourth in Cy Young voting.  He would secure 15 Wins the next year, but was traded during the following season to San Diego.

Kennedy returned in 2022, though had an awful year with a negative bWAR, and an ERA over five.  He left again, this time for Texas.

His record with Arizona was 48-34 with 661 Strikeouts.
