Before the season started, MLB.com polled league executives on their Rookie of the Year picks for 2023. In the National League, 22-year-old Diamondbacks phenom Corbin Carroll got 66 percent of the vote. So far, that choice looks like a good one. After notching three more hits in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies, Carroll is slashing .287/.379/.510 with seven…

Thirty-two games into his major-league career, outfielder Corbin Carroll has signed the largest contract extension in Diamondbacks history. According to MLB.com’s Steve Gilbert, the deal is for eight years and $111 million.

For the first time since early 2020, there is a palpable buzz around the Diamondbacks. It’s not that the Diamondbacks are favored to win the NL West. Heck, the San Francisco Giants just signed Carlos Correa — the latest addition to a long list of obstacles in what is arguably baseball’s best division. It’s that there is an increasing sense…
Anyone who watched more than a few Diamondbacks games in 2022 knows that speed was one of the team’s defining characteristics. Infield hits, stealing bases, singles stretched into doubles — all were hallmarks of the 2022 Diamondbacks. Granted, not every player on the team was fast. (Don’t be fooled by Carson Kelly’s first stolen base since he was a 19-year-old…...
It is uncommon for a 74-win team such as the 2022 Arizona Diamondbacks to make as many memories as they did. This is a team that finished 37 games behind the NL West division leader and 13 games out of the National League wild card. But the boys in Sedona red established a new brand of baseball in 2022, unlike…...
From the addition of No. 2 overall pick Druw Jones to the rapid rise of top shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar, 2022 was another solid year for an Arizona Diamondbacks’ farm system that remains widely regarded as one of the 10 best in baseball. With the minor league season officially complete, it is time to look back on what transpired. I…...
On the night of his long-awaited major league debut, Corbin Carroll came up to bat in arguably the biggest spot of the game: bases loaded, one out and the go-ahead run on third base. After working a 2-2 count, Carroll laced a well-placed slider into the left-center field gap for a double. It sent the crowd into a frenzy, brought…
In just the last 12 days, two of baseball’s brightest stars signed lucrative long-term extensions — and neither has played a full year in the majors. It's a trend across baseball — one that the Diamondbacks may want to get in on sooner than later.
The All-Star break has come and gone, and the Arizona Diamondbacks’ second half gets underway on Friday against the Washington Nationals. Manager Torey Lovullo knows his team has a lot of work to do. “Our record is what it is,” Lovullo said. “We know that we’ve won 40 baseball games, and for me, that’s not very satisfying.” The Diamondbacks stumbled…
