Diamondbacks All Time Leaders – Through 2025

dbacksTo paraphrase from a famous movie, the one constant through all the years has been baseball.  As we head into 2026, we continue our look at the all-time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. Today, we take a deeper dive into the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Diamondbacks began life in 1998, joining the league along with the Devil Rays. I’ve seen 152 players donning the Diamondbacks uniform in the 21 games I’ve seen them play live, starting in their inaugural season and most recently this past summer, including the final game of their 2007 sweep of the Cubs in the NLDS.

2022 Final Batting Leaders

Another baseball season is in the books, with the White Sox disappointing their fans by not just failing to return to the now-expanded postseason, but also failing to post a winning record.  The Cubs, meanwhile, struggled as expected in the first half of the season but managed to put together a decent enough second half, leading some to believe that a big offseason of free agent signings will put them right back in contention.  Let’s take a look back at the offensive leaders for the 33 games that I attended this season.
