Here are my top 5 Arizona Diamondbacks first basemen of all-time. For most franchises a player had to have at least 1,500 at-bats to be eligible but because the Arizona Diamondbacks are such a young franchise we had to reduce that number. Lastly, players are only eligible for one position so if they played multiple positions for a franchise they will be listed at the position I feel they had the most success. If you think I missed someone or have them in the wrong order, comment below.
