Eduardo Rodriguez has been the unexpected engine behind the Arizona Diamondbacks’ pitching resurgence this season, turning around a historically weak bullpen with his electric first-half performance. His 2.29 ERA at the All-Star break shattered franchise records and earned him the team’s first-half MVP — a rare honor last claimed by Zac Gallen in 2022. But while his stats dazzle, advanced metrics like FIP and xERA suggest his early success may have been luck-driven. A rough start after the break — five earned runs in under three innings — and a creeping ERA to 2.64 hint at potential regression. Still, even if his numbers dip, as long as he keeps winning games, Rodriguez remains the heart of this turnaround — and the Diamondbacks’ most valuable pitcher.
