ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS

The Ain’t No Fang podcast: Wrapping up the Diamondbacks’ 2022 season

Oct 6, 2022, 9:30 PM

The 2022 season is over. There were ups. There were downs.

A wild walk-off on Opening Day. A remarkable scoreless innings streak. And a top prospect debut.

It was an adventurous season.

After a dreadful 2021 campaign, the Diamondbacks bounced back with a respectable 74-88 record, an improvement of 22 wins.

While it’s not a playoff berth, the team is clearly heading in the right direction.

What does this team need to do in order to improve? What positions should they target? How much money do they have to spend?

Steve Zinsmeister and Cody Fincher recap some of the highlights from the 2022 season, and look ahead to the 2023 version of the D-backs.
