Ever since entering Major League Baseball in 2022, Corbin Carroll has crafted a solid career, excelling with both bat and glove.
The 24-year-old was the 16th overall pick in the 2019 draft, following a standout senior season in high school where he hit .540. He committed to UCLA for college baseball but instead opted for the big leagues.
Carroll earned the 2023 National League Rookie of the Year award after a stellar season with Arizona, also making the All-Star team. While his 2024 season saw a slight sophomore slump, he appears to be back on track in his third year.
MLB shared significant news about Corbin Carroll on Tuesday, impacting the Arizona Diamondbacks and their fans: "Corbin Carroll is your April Lightning player in @MLBTheShow!"
