"I think you've got to think of the peace of mind that it brings," Pfaadt said, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. "Ever since we got drafted in 2020, my wife and I, we've loved Arizona. We've loved everything about it, whether that be in the clubhouse and outside the clubhouse. We're just happy to be here longer and extend that stay a little longer."

Pfaadt is expected to be a big piece of Arizona's rotation this season. The 26-year-old won 11 games with a 4.71 ERA and 185 strikeouts across 181 2/3 innings in 2024.

Pfaadt emerged during Arizona's run to the 2023 World Series, posting a 3.27 ERA with 26 strikeouts and only five walks in five starts.
