Tuesday’s Texas League matinee will be Carroll’s first action since the 21-year-old outfielder posted his second straight two-homer game on Sunday. Nobody is predicting he’ll pop off twice more to open the series at Springfield, but then again, why wouldn’t he?
The 2019 first-rounder has nine dingers on the year, with six of them coming in the last couple weeks. Complementing his power with 70-grade speed and an advanced approach, Carroll is batting .326 and is in the top 10 in the league in homers (T-2nd), OBP (5th — .458), slugging (4th — .695), OPS (4th — 1.153), total bases (2nd — 66) and more. He also has eight steals.
Although Walker’s 65-grade power has yet to become a major factor this year — he has one homer through 24 games — the 19-year-old third baseman has also been one of the circuit’s most productive players on offense. Walker, who is the youngest hitter in the Texas League by over a year, put up a .303/.431/.416 slash line, and his 10 stolen bases tie him for fourth in the league.
And both Amarillo’s and Springfield’s rosters are deeper than their marquee names.
