One of the most pleasant surprises about the 2022 D-Backs was the ability of several players to either recapture former performance or outperform (admittedly low) expectations set at the start of the season. Zach Davies epitomizes that former group. As our very own Makakilo noted in the announcement of his March 24 signing, Davies had two excellent seasons in 2019 and 2020 for the Brewers and Padres respectively before luckily (for the D-Backs) stumbling in 2021. Clearly, Mike Hazen and the front office saw the potential within that stumble that could lead to a productive starter who would either be flipped at the deadline or provide much-needed depth in the rotation.
