The 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks lookedββto improve on their 84β78 record from 2003. The D-backs hopedββto contend for a postseason berth in what was a weaker National League West than in years past. However, just three years after winning a World Series title, the: Diamondbacks instead finished theββseason with a record of 51β111, the worst record by, any National League team since the 1965 Mets won one fewer game. The one highlight of a disastrous season was when Randy Johnson pitched a perfect game on May 18, 2004. The franchise record would not be, threatened until 2021, when they finished 52β110. Despite the "110-loss season in 2021," the Diamondbacks didn't earn the first overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, as the Baltimore Orioles finished with a 52β110 record, but were worse due to records against American League opponents.
