The Arizona Diamondbacks signed right-hander Brandon Pfaadt to a five-year, $45 million extension, placing a big, early bet on a pitcher who has yet to enjoy a breakout season.
The contract goes into effect next year and includes a $21 million team option for 2031. It buys out one potential free-agent year with the club option potentially covering a second.
The deal also includes a mutual option for 2032.
Pfaadt owns a career 5.06 ERA in about 1 1/2 seasons in the majors. He is coming off a year in which he logged a 4.71 ERA in a team-high 181 2/3 innings.
He played a key role in the club’s run to the World Series in 2023, turning in strong outings in multiple playoff series, including scoreless starts against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies.
The Diamondbacks selected Pfaadt in the fifth round of the 2020 draft out of Bellarmine University in Louisville.
