Anytime a player’s name appears alongside Mays, it deserves attention. But the fact that Carroll is only the second player ever to reach these milestones so quickly makes the accomplishment even more impressive. Carroll may not be having the type of season many expected from him, but his overall skill set remains obvious. Through 118 games in 2026, Carroll is batting .243 with 18 home runs, 57 RBIs, 75 runs scored, 16 stolen bases, 24 doubles and 14 triples.

He isn’t dependent on one particular skill to produce. Carroll can impact a game with his power, speed and ability to turn extra-base hits into scoring opportunities. The 14 triples this season are especially notable and are another example of his ability to create offense in different ways. While Carroll may not be producing at the level he or the Diamondbacks expected this season, his historic accomplishment serves as a reminder of just how much talent he possesses. Reaching 50 triples, 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases in 606 games is something only Carroll and Mays have accomplished within their first 700 games. That’s some pretty impressive company. — Enjoy free coverage of the top news & trending stories with The Big Lead Newsletter —
