Diamondbacks Star Carroll Returns, Hits Ball Hard
12 Mar
Summary
- Corbin Carroll returned to play after one month recovery from hand surgery.
- He hit the ball hard in his first game back, showing potential power return.
- Carroll's return boosts the Diamondbacks' undermanned lineup.
Corbin Carroll, a star outfielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks, made his on-field return on Wednesday following a month of recovery from surgery for a broken hamate bone in his hand. While he went hitless in his initial three at-bats, Carroll demonstrated promising signs by driving the ball with high exit velocities, suggesting his power may return sooner rather than later. The hamate bone often impacts a player's power, making Carroll's hard-hit balls a positive indicator for his production.
Carroll's return is timely for the Diamondbacks, whose lineup has been shorthanded. Several key players are currently participating in the World Baseball Classic, and Carroll's injury further depleted the team's offensive strength. His active participation on the field, and reportedly hitting the ball with force in his first action since surgery, offers a significant boost as the team aims to contend. The focus now shifts to managing his workload and getting him back to full defensive capabilities.
