The Diamondbacks offense and pitching are off to a hot start, but the defense is looking brutal. Last year, the Diamondbacks finished 22nd in the league in errors with 101. Many players were out of position like Chris Owings and Brandon Drury, but the defense certainly contributed to some of the pitching and overall struggles. This year there have been multiple mistakes and errors that have already contributed to a loss.
Game-Changing Errors
The first big error of the year was a groundball hit to Brandon Drury off the bat of Buster Posey in the 3rd inning of the second game of the year.
