Jake Lamb played his first six-and-a-half seasons with the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he played mostly at Third Base.  Lamb became a starter in 2016, and in 2017, he was an All-Star, hammering 30 Home Runs with 105 Runs Batted In, both of which were career-highs.   His high-water mark was his 2017 Wild Card performance (4 for 5, three runs), but afterward, he was beset with multiple injuries and was never the same player again.

He was released during the 2020 Season, but continued to play in the Majors for another four years.  With the D-Backs, he had 84 Home Runs and 471 Hits.

 

A very good control Pitcher who would lead the National League in BB/9 in 1998, Brian Anderson was the second pick in the 1997 Expansion Draft and an original Arizona Diamondback.  Anderson would go 41-42 for Arizona predominantly as a Starting Pitcher and later was a member of the 2001 World Series Championship Team.

Damian Miller had a solid career in the Majors, where his best run occurred as a member of the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Miller was a workmanlike Catcher who was defensively sound and he would twice lead all National League Catchers in Range Factor per Game.  He was also named an All-Star in 2002.

Brad Ziegler never started a game for the Arizona Diamondbacks.  Actually, he never started a game anywhere in the Majors. 

The bullpen has been a place that has served Ziegler well, and during his time with the D-Backs, he excelled in long relief, short relief, or closing.  Ziegler would lead the National League in Games Pitched in 2013, and as the team’s closer in 2015, he had 30 Saves.  The submarine pitcher would secure 62 Saves for Arizona.

Ziegler was brought back for a second run midway through the 2018 season, and he would retire after the season ended.  Overall with the D-Backs, Ziegler finished 140 Games and had 62 Saves.
