Omar Daal was an expansion pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks, and based on the seasons that he already had in the Majors, there were limited expectations for the Venezuelan southpaw. For the first time, Daal became a regular starter, and while he won only eight games in the Diamondbacks’ inaugural season, he posted a sweet ERA of 2.88, which ranked fifth in the NL. He won 16 Games the following season, while eating 214.2 innings with a 3.65 ERA.
Daal faltered the following year and was traded during the season to the Philadelphia Phillies, leaving a record of 26-31 with 325 Strikeouts.
Josh Collmenter bounced back and forth from being a starting pitcher to a relief pitcher. Collmenter would win 36 Games for the D-Backs, and while he was never considered one of the top pitchers for Arizona during his stint there, he was certainly one of the more recognizable ones with his signature over-the-top delivery. Notably, he was fifth in voting for the National League Rookie of the Year in 2011.
Collmeneter had a record of 36-33 with 460 Strikeouts with Arizona.
Aaron Hill had an up-and-down career with the Toronto Blue Jays, and when he was traded to the Diamondbacks during the 2011 Season, it was a similar story for the Second Baseman.
In his first full year in Arizona, Hill had a great season, winning a Silver Slugger with 26 Home Run/.882 OPS year, where he also batted .302. It was also a historic year for Hill, who hit two cycles in a season, becoming the first player since Babe Herman in 1931. Hill broke his hand the following year and was never the same hitter, but he continued to provide depth and contact hitting to the club until he was traded to Milwaukee in 2016.
With the Diamondbacks, Hill had 512 Hits while batting .273.
