Miguel Batista played for ten teams over his eighteen seasons in the Majors, but it was clear that he was at his most productive as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks.  It was also the place where he had his most opportunities as a Starting Pitcher.

Batista started 109 of his 156 Games in Arizona as a starter and was often used in long relief.  Basically, the native of the Dominican Republic was used; however, the Diamondbacks could use him, which turned out to be quite a lot!  The hurler would assist Arizona in winning the 2001 World Series, and in the postseason, he pitched six times, three as a starter and three from the bullpen, which was certainly fitting.  Even more notable, he did not give up a run in any of those appearances.  Batista would win 40 Games for Arizona over his two runs.
