Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has the NL Rookie of the Year award on lockdown. Heck, he’s making a compelling case for the MVP, too. Carroll has only played just over 100 MLB games, so some fans still might not know about him. But plays like the one he made on Thursday afternoon prove that he won’t be able to fly under the radar for much longer.
After Carroll reached base on a fielder’s choice, Christian Walker hit a single up the middle and Carroll began zipping around the bases. It takes some decent speed to go from first to third on a single, but Carroll didn’t stop there. He motored around third and scored the first run of the game—all the way from first base.
Corbin Carroll turned a Christian Walker single into a run scored.
