The Diamondbacks signed outfielder A.J. Pollock to a two-year extension worth $10.25 million late last night.

The 28-year-old Pollock had been vying for an extension all offseason. He was eligible for his first year of arbitration this season. This contract will pay him just over $5 million in each of the next two seasons, after which he will have one year remaining of team control.

Pollock had played in just 243 games from 2012-2014 before breaking out as a star last season. He batted .315/.367/.498 with 20 home runs, 76 RBI and 39 stolen bases, and won a Gold Glove in center field.
