D-backs stand pat, ready to show rough 2020 was a fluke

The Arizona Diamondbacks didn't do much to improve their roster after a rough 2020 season

MARCH 17, 2021 • Associated Press

Up and down four times Bumgarner allowed two runs on three hits while striking out three over four innings in Tuesday's spring start against the Athletics.

Impact Aside from the two solo home runs allowed in the fourth inning, Bumgarner was pleased with the effort. "It was really just two pitches that I would like to do over again," the left-hander told Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic. "The rest of them I felt pretty good about. It was nice to get up and down four times and get some at-bats and kind of feel like a regular game." This was Bumgarner's second Cactus League start, sandwiched around a three-inning simulated game. The 31-year-old hurler has a lot to prove this season after a desultory 2020 campaign in which he experienced a drop in velocity and posted a 6.48 ERA (7.17 FIP).

Dominates in spring debut Bumgarner allowed one hit while striking out six and walking none across two scoreless innings Thursday against the Angels.

Impact All of Bumgarner's outs came via the strikeout, and 20 of his 33 pitches went for strikes. Perhaps most importantly, Bumgarner consistently sat around 90 miles per hour with his fastball, up from his 86.1 average velocity in 2020. Even with this positive outing, Bumgarner has plenty to prove after posting a 6.48 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 41.2 innings last season.

Tosses first bullpen Bumgarner threw his first bullpen session of spring training Wednesday, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Bumgarner described the session as "pretty good for the first one." He's coming off the worst season of his career, which he partially attributed to the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic. "The only thing I wish I would have done different last year was kept (my throwing) at a steady pace," the left-hander said. "We didn't really know what to plan for." Bumgarner finished the worst season of his career with two good outings, striking out 11 and issuing just one walk across 10 scoreless innings. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo would not divulge his Opening Day starter, Piecoro reports, but it looks like it could come down to Bumgarner or right-hander Zac Gallen.
