MLB Data & Insights
Fresh Off a ‘Wow’ Moment, Brandon Pfaadt and D-backs Go for Sweep of Rockies
It was a single pitch, a single swing and miss, that perfectly encapsulated the growing confidence of Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon Pfaadt. Now, fresh off that “wow” moment against one of the best hitters in the game, Pfaadt will take the mound on Sunday afternoon with a chance to set a new career high for wins and lead the Arizona Diamondbacks to a three-game series sweep of their National League West rivals, the visiting Colorado Rockies.
The Pfaadt Progression: A “Wow” Moment
In his last start against the San Diego Padres, Brandon Pfaadt found himself in a key situation facing Luis Arraez, the three-time reigning batting champion. Pfaadt unleashed a devastating 86 mph changeup that buckled Arraez for a swinging strike three. The pitch was so nasty that the center field camera caught Arraez himself mouthing the word “wow” as he walked back to the dugout. For a young pitcher, getting that kind of reaction from an elite hitter is a massive confidence booster.
“To see his reaction to that makes me feel pretty good,” a smiling Pfaadt said. “He’s a great hitter, and he has a great approach. It just so happened we fooled him.” That moment is a sign of Pfaadt’s development this season, a progression that has seen him integrate a new cut fastball into his repertoire. “It is still a new pitch, but it’s played well, and I think it opens up a lot,” he said.
The table below provides a snapshot of two divisional rivals that are in very different places as the season winds down. For a full recap of their most recent games, you can check the official MLB game results.
| Team | Record | Division Standing | Runs Per Game | Team ERA |
| Arizona Diamondbacks | 52-62 | 4th in NL West | 4.6 | 4.50 |
| Colorado Rockies | 30-86 | 5th in NL West | 4.3 | 6.05 |
Colorado’s Race Against History
While the Diamondbacks are focused on finishing the season strong, the Rockies are in a race against the record books. With a 30-86 record, they are on pace to lose 126 games, which would break the modern-era record for most losses in a season. Despite the team’s struggles, they have found a major bright spot in their newest rookie, first baseman Warming Bernabel. The 23-year-old has been a sensation since his debut, hitting safely in all six games he has played with three home runs. His performance has been a “breath of fresh air” for a team in need of positive stories. His father, however, is having a harder time with the excitement. “My dad, after every game, he calls me and says he’s going to get a heart attack, just watching me out there doing what I’m doing,” Bernabel said.
