PHOENIX -- You¡¯ve seen the Top 5 rankings for the D-backs at each position, but what were the best seasons by a player at each position?

Some will be obvious, but others may surprise you.

Here¡¯s a look at the best seasons, by position in D-backs history:

Catcher: 2012 Miguel Montero (4.5 bWAR)
Montero was an All-Star in 2011, but he had an even better year in 2012, when he slashed .286/.391/.438 while appearing in 141 games. It was an amazing stretch in which he hit 33 homers, drove in 174 runs and had an .825 OPS.

First base: 2015 Paul Goldschmidt (8.3 bWAR)
During his eight years with the D-backs, Goldschmidt finished second in the NL MVP race twice and third once. He collected four Silver Slugger Awards and three Gold Gloves while appearing in six All-Star Games. In other words, there were lots of great seasons to choose from here, but I went with 2015, when he hit 33 homers, drove in 110 runs and slashed .321/.435/.570. He finished second in the MVP voting to Bryce Harper.

Second base: 1999 Jay Bell (4.9 bWAR)
Ketel Marte¡¯s 2019 season was better than Bell¡¯s 1999, but I went with Bell because Marte split time between second and center that year. Bell helped lead the D-backs to a 100-win season in the franchise¡¯s second year of existence as he hit 38 homers and drove in 112 RBIs. That earned him the start at second base for the NL in the All-Star Game that year held at Fenway Park.

Shortstop: 2008 Stephen Drew (3.0 bWAR)
This was not Drew¡¯s best season by bWAR -- that was 2010 -- and because of his amazing defense, Nick Ahmed¡¯s 2018 also had a higher bWAR, but Drew was a force at the plate the 2008 and played good enough defense at short. Drew had 44 doubles, 21 homers and 67 RBIs while slashing .291/.333/.502.

Third base: 1999 Matt Williams (4.1 bWAR)
This was the last truly dominant season in Williams¡¯ illustrious career, and it was a thing to watch. At 33 years old, Williams hit 35 home runs and drove in 142 runs while hitting .303 and getting on base at a .344 clip. He was the starting NL third baseman at the All-Star Game and he finished third in NL MVP voting behind Chipper Jones and Jeff Bagwell.

Left field: 2001 Luis Gonzalez (7.9 bWAR)
Gonzalez put together a remarkable eight-year stretch after joining the D-backs in 1999, and his finest season was in 2001 when he led the team to a thrilling seven-game World Series win over the Yankees. Gonzalez hit 57 home runs and drove in 142 runs while playing in all 162 games. His slash line of .325/.429/.688 earned him a Silver Slugger Award and he also was a starter in the All-Star Game and won the Home Run Derby there. He finished third in NL MVP voting behind Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa.

Center field: 2015 AJ Pollock (5.8 bWAR)
Pollock did it all in 2015 for the D-backs, collecting 39 doubles, six triples, 20 homers and 76 RBIs while also stealing 39 bases. Pollock had a slash line of .315/.367/.498 and he was excellent on the bases as well compiling a Majors-best 1.1 Baserunning WAR (per STATS LLC).

Right field: 2011 Justin Upton (5.1 bWAR)
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft, Upton¡¯s big breakout came in 2011 when he played in 158 games and led the D-backs to a division title. Upton hit 31 homers that year, slashed .289/.369/.529 while compiling an OPS+ of 141. He also won a Silver Slugger Award, was selected to the All-Star game and finished fourth in the MVP voting.

Starting pitcher: 2002 Randy Johnson (10.7 bWAR)
It¡¯s hard to pick the best year of Johnson¡¯s career, but 2002 gets the nod. Johnson captured pitching¡¯s Triple Crown that year leading the NL in wins (24), ERA (2.32) and strikeouts (334). He also led the league in complete games (eight), innings (260) and ERA+ (195). That he found a way to top 2001, in which he had won his third straight Cy Young Award and the co-MVP of the World Series, makes 2002 all the more impressive.

Relief pitcher: 2002 Byung-Hyun Kim (4.0 bWAR)
Kim pitched well in 2001, but he took things to another level in 2002. The 23-year-old put his 2001 World Series struggles behind him and began the 2002 season as the team¡¯s closer. Kim would go on to have the best year a D-backs reliever has ever had compiling a 2.04 ERA, 36 saves and an ERA+ of 223. He was a workhorse, appearing in 72 games and throwing 84 innings.
