Diamondbacks Name Opening Day Starter

Major League Baseball will kick off it’s season on March 30th, 2023. As of right now that is three days away, I can smell the grass through this screen just thinking about it. After a dominant second half of the season in 2022, Zac Gallen will be the opening day starter for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Zac Gallen gets the call, after Madison Bumgarner took the opening day nod the last 3 seasons.

Gallen, who pitched to a record of 12-4 for the D-Backs, while throwing an ERA of 2.54 and finishing 5th in Cy Young voting last season.
