Too soon?
Not at all.
The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Corbin Carroll in the First Round of the 2019 Amateur Draft, and it only took the Outfielder until August of 2022 to reach the Majors. Carroll finished the year strong and staked a claim as an everyday player going into 2023.
Carroll immediately established himself as the man to beat for the National League Rookie of the Year, and nobody came close despite some solid competition (Kotai Senga and James Outman). An All-Star in his first full year, Carroll finished the year batting .285, with 25 Home Runs and 54 Stolen Bases. He powered Arizona to an improbable run to the National League Pennant, and was named an All-MLB Team 1 player. Last season, Carroll regressed (22 HR, .231 BA, 35 SB), but he is still under 25, and is primed for a bounce back year in 2025.
