The addition of Rodriguez may solidify the Diamondbacks starting pitching staff as one of the best in the National League.

With Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly, and now Eduardo Rodriguez, fans are rightfully hopeful about Arizona’s postseason chances next season.

From 110 losses two years ago to a postseason-contesting team, it has been quite the turnaround for the Diamondbacks.

The DBacks rotation is the best in the NL West and one of the best in the MLB

Zac Gallen
Merrill Kelly
Eduardo Rodriguez
Brandon Pfaadt
Tommy Henry
Slade Cecconi/Drey Jameson (Emergency Options)

This is arguably the most complete rotation in DBacks' HISTORY

DBACKS, EROD LETS GOOOOO!

Eduardo Rodriguez has gotten better and better since missing the 2020 season. Savant has his pitches run values improving since 2021

His ERA has dropped from 4.74, 4.05, 3.30 from 2021-2023

Only scare: has only thrown 160.0+ IP once (2019) pic.twitter.com/j3W5yUifme
