Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll continues to rake as he launched two more homers in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Carroll went 2-for-5 with two home runs, three RBI, and a walk in Wednesday's victory. He launched his first home run of the night in the bottom of the first and belted another shot in the seventh frame to give Arizona the lead. This game brings the 24-year-old superstar to a .327 AVG and .1.097 OPS with 23 runs, nine homers, 22 RBI, and four steals on the season. He has been absolutely electric in the early going and is looking like a candidate for NL MVP. This year, taking a slight risk on him in the late-first or early-second rounds of drafts looks like a massive hit for fantasy managers.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has been on another level at the plate over the last few weeks. On Saturday, Carroll started off the game with a home run off right-hander Ben Brown in the opening frame. It would kick off what would be a 3-for-4 day at the plate for Carroll. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games with that three-hit performance. Carroll has put his sluggish 2024 season behind him and is looking like an MVP-type player right now. Carroll obviously needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats as he has been one of the best players in the league.
Corbin Carroll Extends Hitting Streak, Steals Three Bases
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has been one of the hottest hitters early in the 2025 season. He went 1-for-5 in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Miami Marlins to extend his hitting streak to 10 games and also added an RBI, two runs scored and three stolen bases despite striking out three times. The 24-year-old stole both second and third base in the first inning. The former first-rounder is now hitting .321 with a 1.065 OPS, six home runs, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored and four stolen bases in his first 19 games in 2025. During his 10-game hitting streak, Carroll has gone 17-for-44 (.386) with 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and nine extra-base hits. Carroll was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 before struggling to a .231 batting average last year, although he still hit 22 homers and stole 35 bases. If he keeps this up all year, he could easily be the fantasy MVP.
Corbin Carroll Hits Grand Slam, Plates Five Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll continued his power surge in Tuesday's 10-4 win over the Marlins. Carroll went 2-for-5 with a double, a grand slam, and five RBI. The 24-year-old clobbered a sixth-inning George Soriano fastball into the right-field upper deck to put the D-backs ahead 10-1. Surprisingly, Carroll's main fantasy attribute so far in 2025 has switched from speed to power, as he is slashing .338/.423/.735 with six home runs, 15 RBI, and one stolen base in one attempt. This may not have been what fantasy managers expected from him, but they can't complain about his overall production. His speed is still a major threat, and he has plenty of time to accumulate stolen bases.
Corbin Carroll Homers, Scores Twice In Win On Tuesday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll went 2-for-3 with a homer and two runs scored in a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Carroll tied the game up at 2-2 with his solo homer in the second inning, a shot that traveled 401 feet with an exit velocity of 106.9 MPH. The veteran outfielder is off to a fast start in 2025, hitting .304 with four homers, nine runs, and seven RBI through 46 at-bats. While he is still looking for his first stolen base, Carroll stole a combined 89 bags over his previous two seasons, so they should eventually come. He remains an everyday starter in all fantasy leagues.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll came ready to swing the bat during Friday's game against the Washington Nationals. Carroll took right-hander Jake Irvin deep with a solo shot in the third inning. After that, Carroll gave the D-Backs the lead with a two-run home run in the fifth inning. He finished his day 2-for-4 with two homers, three RBI, and a walk in the win. The speedy outfielder is hitting .258 with three homers, six RBI, and surprisingly zero steals on the season. The 24-year-old is a must-start in all fantasy formats right now.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is getting pretty close to returning to Cactus League action, according to manager Torey Lovullo. The Diamondbacks were initially hoping that Carroll would return to the field on Wednesday, but they have elected to give him another day off to completely put his back injury in the rearview mirror. The 24-year-old was initially removed from Sunday's Cactus League contest against the Texas Rangers as a precaution. Barring a setback with his back, Carroll should be ready for Opening Day in late March. Fantasy managers shouldn't have any hesitation in taking Carroll early in drafts as an elite outfielder. The National League Rookie of the Year in 2023 was unable to bounce back from a slow start last year and finished with a .231 average, but he still managed 22 homers, 74 RBI, 35 steals and 121 runs scored in 158 games played.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) is considered day-to-day in camp, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Back tightness caused the Diamondbacks to pull Carroll from Sunday's Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers. The 24-year-old isn't very concerned about the injury, so it sounds as though he could be back in spring action later this week, barring a setback. Before his back tightened up, Carroll has gone 6-for-12 early in Cactus League play with three long balls and two stolen bases. For now, fantasy managers should have no hesitation about taking him as a top-five fantasy outfielder in drafts. He's currently ranked as the No. 2 fantasy outfielder at RotoBaller, behind only Aaron Judge. Carroll won the National League Rookie of the Year in 2023. Despite a near 50-point drop in average in 2024, he still had 22 homers, 74 RBI and 35 steals in 158 games.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll (back) was removed from Sunday's spring training contest due to lower-back tightness. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the next few days as this move could have been precautionary. Before exiting the contest, Carroll went 0-for-2 at the plate with a strikeout. During the early part of spring training, the former top prospect has been flashed elite power as he has gone deep three times and held a 1.821 OPS across five games. The 24 year-old has noted that he focused on continuing to improve the swing adjustments he made during the second half of the 2024 season. After the Midsummer classic last season, Carroll carried an elite .919 OPS which was a significant increase compared to the .635 OPS he held in the first-half. When healthy, fantasy managers should view Carroll as an elite five-category contributor in all formats with the upside to showcase career-high power production.
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has adjusted his swing. The young outfielder has modified his positioning in the batter's box. He began to make this adjustment during the second half of last season and focused on refining it during the winter. The 24-year-old already saw significant improvements when he made the modification last season and could see an even greater one following a full offseason. During the first half of the 2024 season, Carroll posted an underwhelming .212/.301/.334 line with five home runs and 18 stolen bases. However, during the second half, the former top prospect posted a .258/.351/.568 line with 17 long balls and 17 swiped bags. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his power improvement during camp, but given the adjustments last season, he could be poised a career season in 2025. The 24-year-old should be viewed as a high-end outfielder in all formats.
