Corbin Carroll records fifth-fastest inside-the-park home run in Statcast Era

Corbin Carroll’s upward thrust in August persevered with one other impressive feat. Main off the game for the Diamondbacks in opposition to Gavin Stone and the Los Angeles Dodgers, he lifted a cruise ball off the middle field wall and circled the bases for an interior-the-park home drag.

No longer easiest did it imprint the well-known leadoff interior-the-park home drag in franchise history, however it additionally tied the fifth-quickest in the Statcast Era with Kansas Metropolis Royals superstar shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. Listed below are the High 5 interior-the-park home drag times in the Statcast Era:

• 1st: Byron Buxton 13.85 seconds (Aug. 18, 2017)
• 2nd: Byron Buxton 14.05 seconds (Oct. 2, 2016)
• Third: Pete Crow-Armstrong 14.08 seconds (Aug. 23, 2024)
• 4th: Dee Irregular-Gordon 14.2 seconds (June 30, 2015)
• T-5th: Bobby Witt Jr. 14.3 seconds (Aug. 15, 2023)
• T-5th: Corbin Carroll 14.3 seconds (Aug. 31, 2024)

Carroll’s home drag came after the Dodgers scored three runs on relief-to-relief-to-relief home runs by Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman. The Diamondbacks came relief to elevate a 4-3 lead in the inning on Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s two-drag double and Eugenio Suárez’s sacrifice cruise.

Following his first at-bat, Carroll is batting .286 with 11 home runs and a 1.066 OPS in August. His contributions at the tip of the present has been a broad cause why the Diamondbacks continue to stack up wins. He already has a game-worthwhile sizable slam earlier in the homestand to defeat the Sleek York Mets.
