The team continues to set impressive records to include in the three seasons in the league, the Diamond Jaxx have finished no worse than second among ten teams in staff earned run average. Only two teams, since the league began keeping records in 1970, have struck out more than 1,100 batters in a season. They are the 1999 and 2000 Diamond Jaxx.
