An established veteran when he signed with the Diamondbacks in 2000, Craig Counsell was never going to be a player who challenged for an All-Star, but the infielder

Shortstop did show decent Batting Average on occasion (he batted .275 and .282 in the two seasons where he had over 100 Hits for Arizona), and he had good defensive prowess.  Essentially, Counsell was best served as a utility infielder throughout his career, but D-Back fans will always remember his performance in the 2001 NLCS, where he was named the MVP of the series (.381 BA/4 RBI).  He would later help Arizona win its first World Series, notably hitting a solo shot in Game 1.

Counsell was traded to the Dodgers after 2003 but returned as a Free Agent in 2005 for another two years as a D-Back, where in '05 he had his best defensive season (3.5 Defensive bWAR) of his career, while also posting a career-best 148 Hits.  Overall, Counsell had 611 Hits for the team.

 

 

A First Round pick in 2004, Infielder Stephen Drew played his first six-and-a-half seasons with the Diamondbacks, with his peak coming from 2008 to 2010.  In those campaigns, Drew managed at least 10 Triples (he had 52 overall with Arizona).  He was not a power hitter, but did have a 21-Home Run year in 2008, with a surprising .502 Slugging Percentage.  Traded to Oakland in the 2012 season, “Dirt” had 776 Hits with a .266 Batting Average for the D-Backs.

Drew later won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2013.

Miguel Montero spent nine years with Arizona Diamondbacks gradually working himself to a full-time starting role with the team.  While he never had a season where he collected more than 140 Hits, he did have back-to-back 139 Hit seasons where he batted over .280 with 15 Home Runs (2011 & 2012).  Montero would also provide solid defense, most notably where in 2011 the Catcher led the National League in Caught Stealing Percentage throwing out 40% of all who dared to steal against him.

With Arizona, Montero had 795 Hits, and was well regarded for his durability and intelligence behind the plate.  The two-time All-Star (2011 & 2014) also received MVP votes twice, which was a testament to his overall skill.

Patrick Corbin played the first six seasons of his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks.  The southpaw has had an up-and-down career in the desert, the ups being a pair of 14 Win seasons, the first of which saw him make the All-Star Game (2013).  The lows are Tommy John Surgery, taking him out of the entire 2014 Season and the 2016 campaign, when he lost his role as a Starter.  Lows are lows and highs are highs, and since 2016, Corbin returned to the All-Star Game in 2018 as a Starter, and he was third overall in the NL in both Strikeouts and SO/BB while also finishing fourth in WHIP and a fifth-place Cy Young finish.   That ended Corbin’s stay in Arizona, as he left via free agency to join the Washington Nationals, where he won a World Series Ring.  

With Arizona, Corbin had a 56-54 record with 897 Strikeouts.
