SEATTLE — Welcome home, D-backs outfielder Corbin Carroll.
Last year’s American League Rookie of the Year, Julio Rodríguez calls Seattle home. This year’s National League Rookie of the Year frontrunner used to call Seattle home.
It’s a massive homecoming for D-backs rookie Corbin Carroll. He went to high school at Lakeside, which is about 15 minutes north of where he’ll start in the All-Star game on Tuesday night.
Carroll grew up going games at T-Mobile Park. Now his face is on the side of the ballpark, in front of the same gate he and his family would enter.
The Seattle native gets to do something very few in baseball have ever done. 12Sports went back to Carroll’s high school field and talked to his former teammate Luke Porter and head coach Kellen Sundin.
