'When Corbin gets on base, good things happen'- Carroll's importance to the Diamondba

A sickeningly hot day in America's capital city was highlighted by a home run from Ketel Marte. The Arizona Diamondbacks would go on to win that game 5-0. During a post-game interview, Marte felt inclined to focus on another star player other than himself. That player was Corbin Carroll.against the Nationals in a series opener. Corbin Carroll had struggled mightily to begin the 2024 season, part of a Diamondbacks team that seemed lost, and somewhat identityless to begin the year.

Production from Carroll was lacking earlier in the year, as he was being beaten up and in the strike zone, and his swings were self-admittedly "flat". So flat in fact that it ranked as the single flattest swing in baseball, making it even harder to reach pitches up and in on his hands. On a team with veteran players and many vocal figures who are there to help young players grow, it seems that one of those young players is a figurehead in the locker room. Carroll is a player that others, including those same veterans, turn to for motivation. Ketel Marte, who could easily be the MVP favorite for the National League, looks to Carroll for "good things to happen".
