Arizona Diamondbacks All-Time Top 50: #34 Josh Collmenter

2013: 49 games, 0 started, 92 IP, 3.13 ERA, 124 ERA+, 0.9 WAR

2014: 33 games, 28 started, 179.1 IP, 3.46 ERA, 108 ERA+, 2.4 WAR

The story of Josh Collmenter starts with a kid throwing tomahawks on his family property. That lead to a very over-the-top throwing manner that eventually translated to throwing baseballs at the MLB-level.

It wasn’t his debut on May 14th, 2011 but it was when he made the biggest impression on the fanbase. It was against the Dodgers and Chad Billingsley in Chavez Ravine. Billingsley pitched a gem against the Dbacks, but Collmenter was better.
