The 2004 Arizona Diamondbacks looked to improve on their 84–78 record from 2003. The D-backs hoped to 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 the season with a record of 51–111, 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 52–110. 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 52–110 record, but were worse due to records against American League opponents.
