Impact Carroll delivered the final two runs off Miami ace Sandy Alcantara with a 414-foot shot to right-center. Prior to Carroll's blow, Pavin Smith and Christian Walker each had run-scoring hits, as Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters did much of the damage (6-for-12, four extra-base hits, four RBI, four runs). The home run was the fourth of the season for Carroll, who carries a four-game hit streak (7-for-16) into Monday's game at St. Louis.

Steals piling up Carroll went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Marlins.

Impact Arizona managed only six hits in total on the night, and Carroll was the only Diamondback to record more than one. The rookie's 0:13 BB:K through 14 games is about the only black mark on the start of his first full MLB campaign -- Carroll's slashing .275/.288/.471 with three homers, six RBI, seven runs and six stolen bases, and he's one back of the major-league lead in the latter category.

Swipes two more bags Carroll went 1-for-4 with two runs and two stolen bases in a 12-8 victory versus the Dodgers on Saturday.

Impact Carroll used his legs to help churn out a run in the third inning, reaching on a hit-by-pitch, stealing second and coming around to score on Gabriel Moreno's single. He later led off the fifth with a single, stole second again and scored on Alek Thomas' base hit to give Arizona a two-run lead. Carroll is already showing the fantasy-friendly skill set that makes him one of the most exciting young players in baseball, as he is tied for second in the majors with five steals and has swatted two homers through nine games.

Two hits, two RBI in win Carroll went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in Friday's victory over the Dodgers.

Batting fifth again Thursday Carroll is batting fifth Thursday against the Dodgers.

Impact There had been some hope that Carroll would quickly take over the leadoff role for the Diamondbacks, but that has primarily been occupied by Josh Rojas, Ketel Marte and Kyle Lewis in the early going. Rojas is up there again Thursday with right-hander Dustin May on the mound for Los Angeles.

Three hits in loss Carroll went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Monday's 5-4 loss against San Diego.

Impact Carroll tied the game at 3 with a solo shot in the top of the seventh, marking his first homer of the season. The 2019 first-round pick made his MLB debut in 2022 and was solid in limited action, posting 27 hits (15 extra-base knocks), 14 RBI, eight walks and two stolen bases in 32 games (115 plate appearances).

Swipes three bags Carroll went 1-for-4 with a run scored and three stolen bases in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Carroll's speed played a part in both Arizona's runs. He stole second and third on consecutive pitches in the fifth inning before trotting home on Geraldo Perdomo's double. Then, after stealing second base with two outs in the ninth inning, Los Angeles first baseman Freddie Freeman played deep behind the bag, a situation that prompted Jake McCarthy to lay down a drag bunt which produced the game-winning run. Carroll, like many others in the Diamondbacks' lineup, is off to a slow start at the plate (3-for-14, .214) through four games.

Batting fifth Friday Carroll is starting in left field and batting fifth for the Diamondbacks in Friday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact You could kind of understand the left-handed hitting Carroll in the seven spot versus southpaw Julio Urias, but moving up just two spots with righty Dustin May on the bump is disappointing. Carroll does seem like a good bet to move up eventually, but for the time being it's going to affect his counting stats.
