Diamondbacks' Corbin Carroll Joins Judge, Ohtani in Elite MLB Slugger Group

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll has emerged as one of MLB’s top sluggers, joining the elite company of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani with his impressive power hitting. Carroll recently hit two homers against Justin Verlander, pushing his season total to 13 and marking 30 home runs since the 2024 All-Star break, placing him among the top home run hitters in the league. His blend of speed, defense, and power, combined with a strong offensive contribution, has made him a key figure in the Diamondbacks’ push for the postseason and a contender for the National League MVP. Meanwhile, in the ongoing debate between Judge and Ohtani as baseball’s best player, Judge currently holds a statistical advantage offensively in 2025, especially given Ohtani’s absence from pitching due to injury. Both Judge and Ohtani continue to be dominant forces, but Carroll’s rise adds a new dynamic to the conversation about the league’s premier sluggers. Carroll’s performance underscores a shifting landscape in MLB power hitting, with multiple players vying for top honors this season.
