The Arizona Diamondbacks currently have very little to complain about. With a 25-18 record through May 17th, the Diamondbacks have one of the best records in the National League. This is remarkable considering how anemic the offense has been so far this season.
Paul Goldschmidt’s struggles (a .208 batting average with only four home runs and 12 RBIs) and being without Steven Souza Jr. and Jake Lamb have predictably harmed an offense expected to be significantly better. The Diamondbacks rank last in batting average (.220), 28th in OBP (.300), and 25th in runs scored (170), numbers that would indicate that the Diamondbacks should not be doing as well as they are.
