Diamondbacks Promote Corbin Carroll

By Darragh McDonald | August 29, 2022 at 3:30pm CDT

Aug. 29: The Diamondbacks have officially announced Carroll’s selection, with Luplow being optioned in a corresponding move.

Aug, 28: The Diamondbacks are planning on promoting outfield prospect Corbin Carroll for Monday’s game, reports Steve Gilbert of MLB.com. Carroll is not currently on the club’s 40-man roster, though they already have a vacancy there. A corresponding move will be required to get him onto the active roster.

This will be something of a belated birthday present for the youngster, who just turned 22 years old a week ago. Selected with the 16th overall pick in the 2019 draft, Carroll has been one of the most intriguing prospect in Arizona’s system ever since. Baseball America ranked him 5th in the organization and 90th in all of baseball in 2020, before Carroll jumped to Arizona’s #1 slot in 2021. He’s currently ranked 5th overall by BA, 3rd by FanGraphs, while ESPN and Keith Law of The Athletic consider him the best prospect in the sport.

The fact that Carroll is so highly regarded is hardly surprising, given his tremendous performance on the field thus far in his career. After being drafted in 2019, at just 18 years of age, he got into 42 games between rookie ball and low-A, hitting .299/.409/.487 in that span. The pandemic wiped out the minors in 2020, but Carroll reportedly continued to impress at the club’s alternate training site that year. 2021 was a mostly lost season, as Carroll tore the capsule of his non-throwing shoulder, ending his campaign after just seven games.

Corbin Carroll

However, Carroll has gotten right back on track here in 2022, showing no ill effects from the shoulder surgery he underwent last year. Through 58 Double-A games, he hit 16 home runs, stole 20 bases and walked in 14.8% of his plate appearances. His .313/.430/.643 batting line was 66% better than league average by measure of wRC+. He was promoted to Triple-A and has played 33 games there thus far, hitting seven more long balls, swiping 11 more bags and hitting .287/.408/.535, wRC+ of 135.

Defensively, Carroll has primarily played center field in the minors, though with some time in the corners as well. It’s unclear where the Diamondbacks intend to play Carroll in the majors, but they will have an embarrassment of young talent in the outfield either way. Alek Thomas, himself a highly regarded prospect coming into the year, was promoted in May and has been getting the lion’s share of playing time in center. He’s hit just .243/.294/.369 through his first 92 MLB games for an 84 wRC+, though his glovework has been highly rated across the board.

Beside Carroll and Thomas, the club has many options to fill out the remainder of its outfield picture. Daulton Varsho and Jake McCarthy are both having strong seasons as well and each comes with at least four years of club control beyond this one. Stone Garrett was also recently called up, having hit very well in a five-game showing so far. Jordan Luplow is also on hand due to his strong numbers against lefties. He’s slumped a bit in that regard this season but could be retained via arbitration for another two seasons if he still fits into Arizona’s plans. Assuming Carroll sticks with the big league club the rest of the season, he will earn just over a month of service time, putting him on track to reach free agency after the 2028 campaign, unless future optional assignments end up pushing that back.

It’s been a rough few years in the desert, with the D-Backs currently 59-67, likely to finish below .500 for a third straight season. However, they have already guaranteed themselves a record well ahead of last year’s 52-100 mark, with plenty of reasons to be excited about the future. Their stockpile of young, cheap and controllable outfield talent is perhaps the best reason to feel hopeful, with Carroll considered by many to be the most exciting of the bunch. Over the remaining few weeks of the schedule, the club will give him a chance to show his skills at the sport’s biggest stage and potentially lock down a place on the grass for years to come.

      just looking at Corbin Carroll’s profile. 5’10” and 165 pounds but slugging 24 homeruns and just turning 22 years of age. he must have some sweet swing to generate that kind of power at such a young age. looks like the D-Backs might have a rising star on their hands.

        I look at that size and that profile and say, watch out he may bust completely in the majors. Other than on the Astros for some reason, there aren’t a lot of examples of guys his size slugging like does. Good chance he’s been taking advantage of minor league pitchers’ inability to throw to his small strike zone, walking a lot and getting a bunch of meat balls, which he is selling out for. We’ll see what happens vs guys who can actually hit a spot and aren’t in the PCL, where you can pop the ball up and hit it out.

          Listed weights of pro players are often not correct, often those weights haven’t been updated since draft day. Carroll very well might be 175-180 these days which is about mookie betts size who can obviously hit for some good power.

          It’s very unlikely he exhausts rookie eligibility. He’ll be on the roster for 5 weeks, or 35 days, and is unlikely to accumulate 130 at-bats given the glut of left-handed hitting outfielders with similar skill sets (McCarthy, Thomas, Varsho).

          Thanks Jeff. Hazen was a wonderful husband and father during that extremely difficult time, balanced/juggled work and family for a couple of years, then took the home leave during his wife’s last days to be with her and the boys more. I admire how he kept all those responsibilities in balance and perspective.

          Like many or most position players, their raw talent carries them all or most of the way up to the majors, but then, unless they refine their stance or approach, holes in their swing show up in the majors and they start to fail, or as you put it their bat disappears. Everyone in the Dbacks organization has recognized that Thomas has several moving parts in his swing that could create holes. His feet move. He has a high leg kick. He “dives” into pitches, making him vulnerable to inside pitches. There is a lot of body movement in his swing (compare Carson Kelly’s quiet body for example). Etc. etc. it will be up to the Dback’s hitting coaches to refine his mechanics to cover those holes in his swing. Thomas certainly has the natural ability to succeed. If he takes coaching advice, makes changes, simplifies his swing, I still think he has a bright future and high upside.

          I agree. I recently read where McCarthy talked about making adjustments, in particular ditching the leg kick he had. Said it helped him to simplify his approach. Success has followed. I hope the same thing for Thomas, because you can see the talent.

          McCarthy is actually my favorite. I think he has a bulldog mentality that will drive him to succeed. Unfortunately, of the 4 he is the one with the weakest power projection, so I think that makes him most expendable.

          BTW, this is the Dbacks lineup against a left-handed starter. Left handed bats Carroll, McCarthy and Rojas are still in the lineup, which isn’t ideal, but this points out the problem of having a 4 man left-handed hitting OF. Fortunately, with right-handed hitting 3b Emanuel Rivera, the Dbacks can have an all right-handed hitting IF and catcher to balance the lineup. Unfortunately with Luplow gone, left-handed hitting Josh Rojas is the DH, although he is on a long on-base streak so just as well.

          It’s not ideal if you’re going purely for platoon matchups, but there aren’t enough spots on a MLB roster to accommodate platooning at every position.

          FWIW, McCarthy has a 126 wRC+ vs LHP (117 wRC+ vs RHP) and Rojas has a 114 wRC+ vs LHP (112 wRC+ vs RHP); plus they aren’t playing Carroll against LHP strictly because they HAVE to, they see him as an everyday player and want to give him every opportunity to work on his issues (which currently includes facing LHP, which is expected to a degree from someone who has a little over 600 career PA).

      Prestige

      The “log jam” is the best kind of problem to have! The real problem is that they are all left-handed hitters, and there is a huge drop off to right-handed hitting OF alternatives on the roster.

      But there is help on the near and distant horizon. This year’s draft #1-2 pick Druw Jones is a right-handed CF. But Dbacks may have a right-handed hitting OF as early as next year—forgotten former #1 prospect Kristian Robinson. He’s still young and hasn’t lost any of his immense potential talent, he’s just been sidelined by legal and VISA problems. If he gets those behind him (most likely in November), look for him on the big league roster by mid-season next year.

    “They remind me of a bunch of Labrador retrievers chasing down frisbees at the beach,” D-backs manager Torey Lovullo said”. Carroll now becomes the 4th member of “the labradors”! They all have elite speed, both on the base paths and in the OF. Carroll has the highest upside. McCarthy is batting .291. Varsho has 18 HR. Thomas plays highlight reel defense on a daily basis. The only drawback is that all 4 are left-handed hitters.

    Elite pitching prospects are coming up next. Tommy Henry already has 5 big league starts and a .325 ERA! Brandon Pfaadt will be next. He has 170 Ks in 131 1/3 innings at AA and AAA this year, and a 2.70 ERA with 23 Ks in his first 3 AAA starts. Walston struck out 6 in 6 shutout innings in his last AA start. But ahead of him are Drey Jameson and his 100 MPH heaters, Ryne Nelson at AAA and Corbin Martin already in the big league bullpen this year.

      Goldie wanted long term payday, can’t blame him and he’s sorely missed. But Dbacks were going younger and netted Carson Kelly, not a superstar but adequate and hard-to-find major league catcher. Did you forget that Jazz Chisholm returned Zac Gallen, any team takes that trade 10 out of 10 times. I say Mike Hazen went 2 for 2. Granted, Dansby Swanson, #1-1 draft choice plus 2 others for Shelby Miller is one of the all time worst. That’s on Dave Stewart and he was fired soon after.

    Carroll is definitely a great prospect but his K rate has been a little high considering the bad quality of minors pitching. Around 23% is actually about average but many players had their k rates jump 6-7 ticks after being promoted because the stuff is so much better in the majors.

    Carroll offers a lot more with good walks, decent power, great speed and defense so he should be fine even as a 0.250 hitter but i would have liked to see him to play in the minors a little longer giving him the task to lower his k rate to like 18-19% so he can be at 23-24 in the majors but he probably can manage to be a productive anyway.

    But overall I like to keep players who don’t have super low k rates in the minors down a little longer so they can work on contact ability more there because it is super tough to manage that against the insane stuff of mlb pitchers. Playing in AA/AAA is like hitting against the rockies or nationals 5th starter every day.

        @high, you have to understand people in the industry don’t know how to project anything. They analyze data and take stabs in the dark. GMs, scouts, Keith Law, Jim Callis, etc are basically just doing guesswork

        I can look at less than 30 seconds of highlight video of Carroll in the minor leagues and see it’s not going to work out

        On top of that, if someone has poor instincts, is weak, and is himself not much of a talent, they’ll see exceptional ability in players that are like that

        Its a rare combination of talent, a winning mind, and ability for intellectual prescience that can look at a photo or two, check out 20 seconds of video and know instantly how it will work out

      Camden you lost all credibility when you said that by looking at a picture you could tell Trout was a loser maybe the least intelligent thing I have ever heard. Your theory on body frame and how the players are going to perform also tells me you have are absolutely clueless when it comes to baseball. Hitting a baseball being thrown at you upwards of a 100 mph has to be one of if not the hardest thing to do in all of sports. Hand eye coordination has to be off the charts to do that otherwise guys like Franchy Cordero and Adell would be the only guys who are hall of famers. This is why your theory is ridiculous. Carroll does have a few red flags but here’s another non measurable stat for you and it’s heart. This kid has had a lot of adversity in his life and he has overcome it’s impossible to measure the determination and heart and this kid has it in spades. I think he will probably take some time to adjust but he makes hard contact uses the entire field has great sped and is going to be well above average defensively. I’m willing to put my money where my mouth is I’ll bet you his floor is closer to .250 hitter then a .190 hitter like you said you name the terms let’s get our bet on I would love to bet on this kid.

        bruin, youre another analytics/stat analyzer. In other words, another person doing guesswork, with no real ability to project anything

        I can look at a few photos/videos and project any player to near 100% accuracy. I never look at stats

        And youve got to understand, the mind of the scout/GM will see quality and ability in players that have no such quality or ability, if the scout/gm is himself someone with no quality or ability. Arguing, “Well the guy is a scout” is absurd. If the scout has a losing mind, is himself talentless, hes going to see value in what is not actually valuable

        The industry is loaded with people who are not very talented or able

        Keith Law, for example, once said Amed Rosario was a “potential MVP”

        It’s obvious just from pulling up 20 seconds of video of Rosario that that is impossible to be the case

        It was clear Rosario had slow bat speed and heavy, dull ball coming off the bat. On top of that, it was obvious hed never develop the plate discipline to reduce chase rate and draw walks..

        Such a take that Rosario could be a future MVP comes from the mind of absolute madness

          Camden I watch a lot of minor league baseball and let me tell you you can’t tell from a picture. You certainly can’t tell from picture that someone’s a loser your baseball acumen is lacking I’m willing to bet on it

          What is your background,im sure it wont be true but at least tell us why you ” think” you know what you are talking about. Ever played at ANY level, coached, scouted, anything?

          Camden I have to admit I haven’t seen much of Corbin Carroll but this morning I watched about an hour of highlights because maybe everyone else was wrong and you were right. After watching an hour of highlights almost everything you said about Carroll is dead wrong. I’ll tell you what I’m especially impressed with is the ease he gets to his oppo side power. This truly is a foul line to foul line hitter. He must have very strong wrists because he lets the ball get deep then can flick his wrists and hit with loft and 100 to 105 ball speed. That’s a skill very few big leaguers have. His speed on the bases is elite he will turn doubles into triples and leg out singles into doubles. I guess what I’m saying is basically Arizona has a keeper here. I will have to say Camden you did have me going that maybe you were a savant but I think you are off your meds and delusional. I just hope you take it on the chin when this guy doesn’t hit anywhere near .190 in the next two years and admit your wrong. I for one am willing to admit when I’m wrong hopefully you will to. Im guessing we will know your wrong before the end of this season.

    Dbacks get better with Carroll on the roster. They are now only 2 games behind the Giants for 3rd in the tough NLW.

    Dbacks are on pace for 75-80 win season. That’s a 25 win improvement over the 2021 season.

    “Carroll heads to the Majors having hit .307/.425/.610 in 93 games, mostly at Double-A Amarillo and Triple-A Reno. He is one of only four Minor League full-season qualifiers with a slash line above .300/.400/.600 in all three categories, and his 1.026 OPS is sixth-best on a list of 719. He’s also contributed 24 homers and 31 stolen bases as one of eight members of the 2022 Minor League 20-20 club at the time of his callup.”

    I remember when Victor Robles was the #1 prospect in baseball. Just like Carroll, the day he was called up I said hed be terrible, hes a hugely overrated prospect, and basically minor league territory

    Just like today, everyone was telling me theyll listen to the experts making prospect lists

      Are you saying you know more than prospects experts?

      Never mind, you actually did say that above. No evidence to support it, but whatever…

        Camden lost all credibility when he tried to get Travis Jankowski over with the masses. That went over like a lead balloon.

          Jankowski is better than Trout. He just needs the opportunity…or something.

    Corbin Carroll’s debut is tonight against the Phillies. He’s playing RF and batting 8th. I’m going to the game. Carroll is the most anticipated prospect in Dback’s franchise history. Who knows? Carroll might turn out to be an All-Star and a Hall of Famer? Then I can tell my kids and Grandkids, I was there the night it all started.

      Most anticipated is a stretch. Justin Upton was the most anticipated prospect for the Diamondbacks.Bauer was up there as well.

    I had the pleasure of watching Corbin at the AA level this season in Amarillo. I believe he is hands down the most complete well rounded player to come through our town since we started AA baseball in 2019. Alec Thomas and Jake McCarthy also passed through Amarillo and are excellent players. But, as I stated, Corbin is the best I have seen at this level!!

      Admittedly small sample size, but the math checks out.

    Everyone in this comment section should avoid interaction with Camden453. At no time does this dullard make a coherent thought. Leave him be in his own misery.
