The article reviews the 2024 season of Josh Bell, who joined the Arizona Diamondbacks after a trade from the Miami Marlins. With starting first baseman Christian Walker injured, Bell made an immediate impact, hitting two home runs in his debut against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Despite a solid performance early on, Bell's playing time diminished after Walker's return. His overall season stats were respectable, but his power numbers declined. Notably, Bell improved defensively under the guidance of infield coach Tony Perezchica.
As Bell heads into free agency, his future with the Diamondbacks remains uncertain, depending on Walker's status and the team's needs at first base.
