Carroll's speed is one of his standout attributes, with his 30.7 ft./sec. average sprint speed ranking as the best in the majors.

He uses his speed to cover the field and keep runners honest, making him a valuable asset for any team. What sets Carroll apart, however, is his impressive work at the plate. With his slugging performance improving as he's added strength in professional ball, he has the potential for multiple 20-homer seasons.

Last season, Carroll demonstrated his hitting abilities, slashing an impressive .307/.425/.610 with 24 homers and 31 steals across Double-A and Triple-A.

Despite playing in only 32 big-league games, his talent and potential were enough to earn him an eight-year, $111 million contract extension with the Arizona Diamondbacks. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Carroll to see if he lives up to the high expectations set for him.
