However, it could not have been possible without all players contributing, including rookie Corbin Carroll. Notably, the 23-year-old played amazingly well and contributed to the team’s success with an all-round display. Though everyone talked about it verbally, the major leaguer was officially bestowed upon with a Rookie of the Year award.

During the hosted ceremony, the Diamondbacks star was declared the recipient of this prestigious award from the National League. Carroll’s immense accomplishment was evident in the broad smile on his face.

After getting praise for his brilliance in the 2023 season, Corbin Carroll officially got the recognition with a big end-of-the-season award. After this, Carroll also became the first Diamondbacks player to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Notably, it all happened because of his exploits on the field. The left fielder scored 116 runs with 76 RBIs and 25 HRs. He averaged 0.285 with an OPS of 0.868 to finish the league stage at the top of the team’s scoring list.

This proved beneficial for him and the team, paving the way for a memorable end to the season. Carroll incidentally achieved it with a ROY achievement. However, it could not have been possible without his teammates, who ensured Carroll had all the support again on the big day.

Amazing! Isn’t it? Well, that’s how the D-Backs have been this season.

When the season started, the name of Arizona Diamondbacks was not on the list of the teams expected to make it to the World Series. However, that all changed as the season progressed. They played well by checking all the boxes to make it to the playoffs. The team spirit was the reason behind it.

The same spirit was visible in their backing to Brandon Pfaadt to pitch in the deciding game in the NLCS. Considering his challenges during the league stages, he required all the support he could get. It all came his way before the game and turned into praise after his outing. This happened after the pitcher took seven strikeouts to put Diamondback in the World Series.

Moreover, the spirit did not die even after the team lost the World Series. The latest celebration as a team to Carroll’s achievement confirmed it, making the Snakes a super team. Given the work has already started for the upcoming season, this spirit and unity make them a team, not an underdog anymore.
