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 maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2026 revision of our top 50 Arizona Diamondbacks

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

1.  Duration and Impact.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the Major League Baseball.

3.  Advanced Statistics.

4.  Playoff performance.

5. Their respective legacy on the team.

6. How successful the team was when he was there.

7. Respecting the era in which they played.

Criteria 1-4 will make up the lion’s share of the algorithm.  Please note that we have implemented this for the first time.  This has changed the rankings all throughout the board.

Last year, the loaded Diamondbacks were sellers at the trade deadline, but as this is a newer franchise, many of its active players have risen through the ranks.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.

1. Randy Johnson
2. Paul Goldschmidt
3. Brandon Webb
4. Luis Gonzalez
5. Curt Schilling 

You can find the entire list here.

Of note, Ketel Marte came close to taking the #5 spot and remains at #6.  Zac Gallen also maintained his spot at #7.

Corbin Carroll rocketed up to #12 off of an All-MLB Team 2 selection.  He was previously ranked #28.

Pitcher Merrill Kelly, who was traded to Texas during the season but resigned with Arizona a couple of months ago, climbed to #14 from #21.

Infielder Geraldo Perdomo vaulted to #24 from #42.

Catcher Gabriel Moreno moved from #45 to #31.

Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went from #49 to #37.

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.

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.
