Zack Littell, a right-handed pitcher released by the Nationals after a rough start season, is making a smart move to the Arizona Diamondbacks on a one-year deal — and he’s ready to thrive in the bullpen. Once a starter with a 6.18 ERA, Littell’s relief numbers are stellar at 3.18, and he’s proven he can go deep into games — often four or more innings — even stepping in as a bulk pitcher behind an opener. Manager Torey Lovullo sees untapped potential in the 30-year-old, who’s open to any role but prefers starting. With his durability and willingness to pitch 100+ pitches when needed, Littell offers the D-backs crucial flexibility, helping preserve their rotation while giving them a versatile arm ready to step up. He chose Arizona for the right fit — and the chance to keep growing.
