Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Arizona Diamondbacks.

As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Please note that our algorithm has changed, which yielded minor changes throughout the baseball lists.

Last year, the Diamondbacks had a good season, winning 89 Games, but they did not make the playoffs.  As the team has only existed for 27 years, there is ample opportunity for new players to enter the list, which occurred in this cycle with three new entries.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a change based on the new structure:

1. Randy Johnson

2. Paul Goldschmidt

3. Brandon Webb

4. Luis Gonzalez  

5. Curt Schilling

You can find the entire list here.

Based on our new system, Gonzalez overtook Schilling for the #4 spot.

Ketel Marte, who finished third in MVP voting, remained at #6, as the chasm was too large to surpass Schilling at #5.

Zac Gallen, who went 14-6 last season, shot up to #7 from #12.

First Baseman Christian Walker advanced to #16 from #22.

Merrill Kelly, who missed a large part of last season, still moved up two spots to #21.

Corbin Carroll did not have a good follow-up to his 2023 Rookie of the Year award, but he still moved up significantly from #38 to #28.

The three debuts are Infielder Geraldo Perdomo at #42, Catcher Gabriel Moreno at #45, and Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. at #49.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

In 2016, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. defected from Cuba along with his brother, and he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays months later.  Gurriel Jr. worked his way up the system and became a starter for the Blue Jays in 2021, but he was traded to Arizona in the 2023 offseason, and since that time, he has elevated his game to become a vital part of the Diamondbacks.

In Gurriel’s first year in the desert (2023), he made his first All-Star team, and had 144 Hits with 24 Home Runs, both career-highs.  Arizona won the National League pennant with his help, and though the Diamondbacks failed to win the World Series, Gurriel Jr. had arrived as a valuable baseball commodity.

Gurriel has not been able to match that year, and he enters 2026 returning from a torn ACL.  At 32, he may be past his prime, but he should still be able to produce for Arizona.

From Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, Geraldo Perdomo made his MLB debut in Arizona in 2021 and was in the Majors to stay a year later.   With an ability to play at Second, Third, and Short, Perdomo was an All-Star in 2023, helped the Diamondbacks make the World Series, and, like he was in 2022, was the league leader in Sacrifice Hits.

Perdomo proved his worth to the organization entering the 2025 season, but he had an unexpected offensive explosion.  He smacked 20 Home Runs with 100 RBIs, while also swiping 27 bases, while batting .290 with an OPS of .851.  He was the league-leader in bWAR (7.0) and captured the Silver Slugger while finishing fourth in MVP voting.  Perdomo became a completely different offensive player, and what he might accomplish in 2026 is anyone’s guess!

Gabriel Moreno began his MLB career with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2022.  That off-season, he was traded to the Diamondbacks, where the young Venezuelan found a home to show off his defensive abilities.

Moreno’s first season with the D-Basks (2023) saw the Catcher lead the National League in Defensive bWAR (3.1), Assists by a Catcher (55), Total Zone Runs by a Catcher (14), and Caught Stealing Percentage (38.6).  Moreno, who batted a respectable .284 in 380 Plate Appearances, won a Gold Glove and helped Arizona win the NL Pennant.  Since then, Moreno has remained the top defensive Catchers in baseball, and while he is not a power hitter, he is coming off a 117 OPS+ year.

Still young, Moreno has a lot of promise and could be a top 20 all-time Diamondback.
