Arizona Diamondbacks Center Fielder Corbin Carroll has gotten off to a historic start in 2025. He is the first player since Eddie Matthews in 1959 with at least 14 home runs, 50 hits, and 5 triples in the first 45 games of a regular season.
Carroll is fourth in the league in home runs, eighth in hits, and tied for the league lead in triples. He is having the best season of his career by a wide margin. Will Carroll continue being a major contributor for the Arizona Diamondbacks?

Arizona has been strong to begin the year. They are in fourth place in the National League West with a record of 24-21. The team’s offense has been one of the league’s best units. They are eighth in batting average, fourth in home runs, and fifth in runs scored. Carroll is not the only Diamondbacks player who has gotten off to a hot start. First Baseman Josh Naylor is top 20 in the league in batting average.
Arizona’s pitching staff has been the weaker part of their team. They are 24th in ERA, 22nd in WHIP, and 20th in opposing batting average. Starting Pitcher Brandon Pfaadt is tied for the league lead in wins, and Corbin Burnes is 14th in ERA. The remainder of the pitching staff has not held up their end of the bargain.
Final Thoughts
Carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks return to the diamond this evening for the middle game of their three-game set with the Colorado Rockies. If the Diamondbacks can keep up their offense while getting better production on the mound, they will be a scary ballclub.
