In a series loss to the Rangers Corbin Carroll shows life with the bat.
The Diamondbacks were swept in a two-game series in Arlington, showing almost no life with the bat. They have yet to hit a home run since the Dodgers series and scored 7 runs in their last 5 games. Things do not look positive at the plate, but one bright spot is Corbin Carroll.
There have been times in 2024 when Carroll has looked like he may be figuring some things out, tallying a 5 game-hit streak recently against the Dodgers and Tigers. It has been a very dry stretch for him overall though, hitting for very little power and only having a .291 slugging percentage on the year.
Even though he is a very young player, in only his second MLB season, Carroll is a leader on the Diamondbacks. He may not be as vocal of a leader as Christian Walker has been for the franchise, but his tone is set by his hard work and performance. He is the franchise star, and when he plays to his expectations, the rest of the team follows suit.
Undoubtedly the biggest missing piece to the offense, getting the team's star back would make a massive difference. Carroll has been pounded up and inside with fastballs since the beginning of the year and there is very little sign of that slowing down. He simply has not been able to catch up to the pitch.
