While he might not be having the breakout season that he did his rookie year, Corbin Carroll is slowly climbing back to his 2023 self, as he has now reached based safely in 28 straight games that he started, breaking a new Diamondbacks franchise record.
This record-breaking streak began on July 3rd against the Dodgers, where he went 1-for-5 at the plate with an additional walk. Since then, the 2023 Rookie of the Year has raised his batting average from .210 to .221. His speed on the bases has also been a key factor, as he’s scored 41 runs during these 28 games.
More recently, Carroll has recorded a hit in each of his last 11 starts. His on-base percentage (OBP) now stands at .309 for the season, a significant improvement from .269 in mid-May.
In the first 92 games of the season, Carroll hit just three home runs. However, in his last 29 games, he has more than tripled that total with 10 homers. Remarkably, his last eight home runs have all come with at least one runner on base.
