The Arizona Diamondbacks are not in the World Series, but the team did have a big impact on helping both the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros get there.

With several former Arizona players and coaches on the rosters of both teams, the 2019 World Series has a strong Diamondbacks flavor.

Perhaps the most notable Diamondbacks influence on the World Series comes in the starting pitching: Three starters at one point played for the Diamondbacks with one of them playing for Arizona as recently as this season and another as recently as last season.

Take a look at the Arizona Diamondbacks connections in the World Series.

Washington Nationals:

Patrick Corbin — Starting pitcher

Corbin signed with the Nationals as a free agent before the season after spending the first six years of his career with the Diamondbacks. He went 56-54 with Arizona with a 3.91 ERA during his time with the Diamondbacks. He's been an integral part of Washington's rotation this season.

Max Scherzer — Starting pitcher

Scherzer began his career in Arizona, but was traded by the Diamondbacks after concerns that he would break down. He has not. Since being traded from the Diamondbacks in 2009 he has become one of the elite pitchers in baseball, leaving Arizona fans wondering what could have been.

Gerardo Parra — Outfielder

Parra has always shined on defense and his leadership has helped elevate the Nationals this season. His "Baby Shark Dance" walk-up song and laid-back attitude has worked wonders in Washington. Parra played the first six years of his career with the Diamondbacks before was traded to the Brewers in 2014.

Daniel Hudson — Reliever

Hudson excelled as a starter for the Diamondbacks over six seasons, going 33-21 with a 3.83 ERA. He left Arizona in free agency in 2013 and after bouncing around for a few seasons, he appears to have found a home and a role in the Nationals' bullpen.

Adam Eaton — Outfielder

Eaton opened his MLB career with two seasons in Arizona before he was traded to the White Sox after the 2013 season. He's now a fixture in Washington's outfield, where he hit .279 with 15 home runs during the regular season.

Fernando Rodney — Reliever

Rodney was a critical component of the Diamondbacks' wild-card run in 2017 when he had 39 saves before he left Arizona as a free agent. He has played on 11 MLB teams, with the Nationals being the latest.

Chip Hale — Bench coach

Hale managed the Diamondbacks to a 148-176 record in two seasons from 2015-16 before he was fired. He's now serving as the Nationals' bench coach.

Henry Blanco — Bullpen coach

Blanco was a catcher in Arizona for two seasons before leaving the Diamondbacks as a free agent after the 2012 season.

Houston Astros:

A.J. Hinch — Manager

Hinch managed the Diamondbacks for two seasons from 2009-10, going 89-123 in Arizona. He's experienced much more success over five seasons in Houston and has a record of 481-329 and a World Series title to his name.

Zack Greinke — Starting pitcher

The Diamondbacks traded Greinke to the Astros for several prospects before the 2019 MLB trade deadline. Greinke went 55-29 in his time with Arizona. Now, he's the Astros' No. 3 starter.

Will Harris — Reliever

In 2013-14, Harris went 4-4 with a 3.42 ERA over 90 appearances for the Diamondbacks. The Astros picked him up off of waivers in 2015 and he's turned into a trusted part of their bullpen. He's appeared in 209 games over five seasons in Houston and compiled an ERA of 2.61.
