History

While the major-league Arizona Diamondbacks began play in 1998, their rookie league team (initially known as the Phoenix Diamondbacks) first competed in the Arizona League (AZL) in 1996, in order to jump start player development, and were the first team with a Diamondbacks affiliation to begin play.^[1] They played at Scottsdale Stadium and Phoenix Municipal Stadium during 1996–1997, and at Tucson Electric Park during 1998–2000. ^{[citation needed]}

The Diamondbacks did not field an Arizona-based rookie league team from 2001 to 2010; the team returned to the league in 2011.^[2] Prior to the 2021 season, the Arizona League was renamed as the Arizona Complex League (ACL).
