The Arizona Diamondbacks took the baseball world by storm this year! With a strong core of veterans and a talented crop of young talent, the D-backs fought their way into their first World Series in over 20 years. What’s not to love about this team? With a Rookie of the Year candidate in the outfield, a Cy Young-worthy pitcher on the mound every fifth day, All-Star power throughout the lineup, and an electric team energy that took the field each night they gave their fans something to cheer for all season long. The D-backs have been working hard in the desert for a while now and after this year, it’s safe to say they’re here to stay.

What we’ll remember about this fandom a decade from now
Corbin Carroll’s rookie year has been something to behold — a highly anticipated addition to the team that brought a spark back to the desert. His theatrics put him in the middle of the NL Rookie of the Year race and gives fans lots more to look forward to in the coming years.
What emotion defined this fandom this year?
Chaos can be seen as negative but this year it’s been something the 2023 Arizona Diamondbacks embraced all season long. Often seen as underdogs or even looked over, the D-backs stayed true to themselves and their gritty style and just kept proving all the experts wrong. They shattered expectations one series and playoff round at a time, creating chaos along the way.
