He has a .259\/.334\/.559 batting line in 560 plate appearances following that performance, hitting 30 homers, 28 doubles and a major league leading 16 triples while stealing 24 bases. Carroll has quietly put together one of the better all-around seasons in the majors this year.<\/p>\n<h2>Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll joins exclusive group<\/h2>\n<p>Carroll&#8217;s 30th home run also put him in rare company. He became <a href=\"https:\/\/stathead.com\/tiny\/fzkwc\" target=\"_blank\">the fourth player in MLB history<\/a> to have 30+ homers, 15+ triples and 20+ steals in the same season, joining Hall of Fame outfielders Chuck Klein (1932) and Willie Mays (1957) and former Phillies All-Star shortstop Jimmy Rollins (2007).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He may not be done joining an exclusive company this season. Carroll is four triples away from a season with 20+ homers, 20+ doubles. 20+ triples and 20+ steals. That feat has been accomplished four times in major league history by Rollins (2007) and outfielders Frank Schulte (1911), Mays (1957) and Curtis Granderson (2007).<\/p>\n<p>This season may only be the beginning. Carroll has begun to tap into his power potential even more this season, setting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/carroco02.shtml#players_advanced_batting\" target=\"_blank\">a career high<\/a> in average exit velocity (92.4 MPH), hard-hit rate (51.4%) and bat speed (74.8 MPH). He has also begun <a href=\"https:\/\/baseballsavant.mlb.com\/savant-player\/corbin-carroll-682998?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb\" target=\"_blank\">pulling the ball more<\/a>, as his 23.4% pulled fly ball rate is a career best.<\/p>\n<p>There have been drawbacks to Carroll&#8217;s increased power. His 138 strikeouts and 24.6% strikeout rate are the worst of his career. However, Carroll is still drawing walks at an above-average rate. If he can return to his previous contact levels and improve his chase rates, Carroll could emerge as a perennial MVP candidate.<\/p>\n<p>At 25 years old, Carroll is still approaching his prime and should be a perennial All-Star for years to come. As impressive as this season has been, the Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder could get even better.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\tfbq('init', '1324276914788316');\n\tfbq('track', 'PageView');\n\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardbarker.com\/mlb\/articles\/diamondbacks_outfielder_achieves_rare_single_season_feat\/s1_13132_42697302\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has quietly put together a generational season.
