Which team finished the 2014 MLB season having the worst record in the major leagues?

The Arizona Diamondbacks finished the 2014 MLB season with the majors’ worst record. Arizona went 64–98, giving the club a .395 winning percentage and the lowest record among all 30 MLB teams.

The season was difficult from the beginning. The Diamondbacks opened 2014 with a 20–45 record, one of the poorest starts in baseball history, and injuries affected several key players. The club used multiple managers during the season, with Kirk Gibson beginning the year and Alan Trammell taking over late in the campaign.

Arizona finished last in the National League West, behind the San Diego Padres, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, and division-winning Colorado Rockies. Colorado also lost 96 games, but Arizona’s 98 losses were the most in the majors.

The 2014 season was especially notable because the Diamondbacks had reached the postseason only two years earlier, winning 94 games in 2011. Their record therefore represented a sharp decline rather than a continuation of a long-term rebuilding period.
