The Arizona Diamondbacks made a bold move in December of 2019 when they signed outfielder Corbin Carroll to a four-year, $111 million contract. At the time, the move was met with some skepticism, as Carroll had only played a handful of games in the major leagues. Seven months later, however, it appears that the Diamondbacks may have made the right call.
Carroll has quickly become one of the best players in the National League. He is currently batting .306 with 10 home runs and 28 RBIs. He also has an impressive .890 OPS and has been one of the most consistent hitters in the league. His defensive play has been superb as well, as he has made some spectacular catches and has a .982 fielding percentage.
The Diamondbacks have been one of the most improved teams in the league this season, and much of that can be attributed to Carroll’s play. He has been a key part of their offense and has helped them stay in contention for a playoff spot. He has also been a leader in the clubhouse, providing a positive influence for his teammates.
It’s clear that Carroll is worth every penny of his $111 million contract. He has been one of the best players in the league and has been a major factor in the Diamondbacks’ success this season. It looks like the Diamondbacks made the right move when they signed him, and it’s likely that he will continue to be an important part of their team for years to come.
