The announcement has sent shockwaves through the baseball world, leaving fans, players, and industry experts alike in disbelief. Lovullo’s resignation marks the end of a significant chapter in the team’s history, as the Diamondbacks have been under his leadership for several years.
Lovullo’s tenure as head coach of the Diamondbacks began in 2017, and during his time with the team, he led them to a playoff appearance in 2017 and helped develop a strong roster, including several key young players.

His ability to navigate the ups and downs of a long MLB season was widely praised, earning him respect from players and colleagues across the league.
However, this season, the Diamondbacks have struggled to meet expectations, and recent performance issues appear to have been a contributing factor to Lovullo’s decision to step down. Sources close to the team have indicated that, while Lovullo’s resignation is a mutual decision with the organization, it comes after a series of internal discussions regarding the team’s direction moving forward. Lovullo himself expressed that the decision was made after much contemplation and a desire to give the team a fresh start.
In a statement, Lovullo said, “I have had the honor of managing this incredible team for the past several years, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I’ve had. After much reflection, I believe it’s the right time for me to step down and allow the team to move forward with a new vision.”
The resignation is a pivotal moment for the Diamondbacks, who will now need to begin the search for a new head coach to guide the team through the upcoming seasons. General Manager Mike Hazen addressed the situation, acknowledging Lovullo’s contributions to the organization. “Torey has been an integral part of the Diamondbacks family. His dedication to the team, the city, and the game of baseball has been invaluable. We respect his decision and wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors,” Hazen stated.
As the Diamondbacks begin the process of finding a new head coach, all eyes will be on the future of the team. Lovullo’s departure marks the beginning of a new era, one that will hopefully bring renewed hope and success to a franchise that has experienced both highs and lows in recent years. The next chapter for the Arizona Diamondbacks is now set to unfold, and fans will be watching closely to see what direction the team takes under new leadership.
