Amarillo, Texas - Today, the Arizona Diamondbacks called up top prospect Corbin Carroll, making him the 12th former Sod Poodle to make their Major League debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks and 14th overall player to make their way from Amarillo to the desert. Carroll, who is ranked as the No. 3 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline began the 2022 season with the Sod Poodles and played 58 games before being called up to Triple-A Reno in early July.

With the Sod Poodles, Carroll hit .313 (71-for-227) with 16 home runs, 11 doubles, eight triples, with 39 RBI, and 41 walks.
