In this AZ Snake Pit Article, I wrote about what I wanted to see in the second half of the season. In summary, this is what I looked for:
- Additional core starting pitcher (Corbin Martin, Tommy Henry, or Ryne Nelson).
- Corbin Carroll debut in the Majors.
- Additional position with excellent defense.
- Breakout seasons from three players (David Peralta, Daulton Varsho, and Zac Gallen).
- Improvement in two statistics (fewer runners left in scoring position, and fewer balls in play per swing by opposing batters).
Almost everything on the list happened!
