Pollock, who has missed significant time with injury over the past two seasons, is looking to regain his 2015 form that saw him slash .315/.367/.865 with 20 home runs and 76 RBIs while also being named to the National League All-Star Team. This season is off to a good start as he has been one of the better players on a Diamondbacks team that currently sits at 21-9, the best record in the National League, and second in the MLB to only the Boston Red Sox.
