Even though he did play in 32 games and totaled 104 at-bats in the 2022 season, Carroll did not meet the threshold to be considered in the award race that year. To win Rookie of the Year, a player must achieve either 130 at-bats, pitching 50 innings (pitcher), or spending 45 days on an MLB team’s active roster.
Last year though, the Seattle native played in 155-of-162 regular season games for Arizona. Carroll batted .285 with 76 RBIs, 54 stolen bases and 25 home runs. He was also included in the 2023 All-MLB first-team.Â
On the American League side, Baltimore Orioles third baseman/shortstop Gunnar Henderson also won ROTY. Henderson had a .255 average, 82 RBIs and 28 home runs.
So far this season, Corbin Carroll is 3-for-10 at the plate (.300), walked five times and has stolen a base.
The Diamondbacks will conclude the four-game series against the Rockies at 1:10 p.m. PT on Easter Sunday.
