The Arizona Diamondbacks<\/a> are off to a good start this season with an 11-8 record. They might be third place in the NL West, but there’s been a lot of success lately with series wins over the New York Mets<\/a>, Philadelphia Phillies<\/a>, and Baltimore Orioles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But there is one major issue the Diamondbacks are facing this season, and it has to do with Corbin Carroll. Despite the outfielder coming back from a hamate bone injury this season, Carroll has been one of the best hitters on the team.<\/p>\n

However, as Bleacher Report’s Zachary D. Rymer<\/a> urges, the Diamondbacks need to get more help around Carroll in the lineup. He and a few others have been great, but the offense needs a lot more help this season.<\/p>\n

Diamondbacks need help for Corbin Carroll<\/p>\n

“Arizona Diamondbacks: Corbin Carroll Needs Help,” Rymer writes. “The whole D-Backs offense, though, only has a .674 OPS. There hasn’t been much help from Ketel Marte or Geraldo Perdomo, though the former is heating up with three home runs in his last three games.”<\/p>\n

The bat of Marte heating up is a good sign, but the Diamondbacks need a lot more help than simply getting Marte back to All-Star levels.<\/p>\n

This season, Carroll has a .958 OPS. Ildemaro Vargas has a surprising 1.076 OPS in 42 at-bats, while Jose Fernandez has an .818 OPS in 44 at-bats.<\/p>\n

Looking at the rest of the roster shows a bleak offensive situation. Jordan Lawler has a .956 OPS, but he’s on the injured list. Jorge Barrosa (.734 OPS), Gabriel Moreno (.733), Adrian Del Castillo (.714), and Marte (.702) are the other hitters above a .700 OPS.<\/p>\n

Moreno is out due to injury, while Castillo has had just 24 at-bats this season. The production from Barrosa is welcome, and Marte is finally heating up.<\/p>\n

But, with Alek Tomas posting a .314 OPS, Nolan Arenado a .510 OPS, and Perdomo a .586 OPS, the Diamondbacks have multiple lineup spots with big question marks.<\/p>\n

The offense needs to be a lot better if they want to contend with the top teams in the National League, especially the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/a> and San Diego Padres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finding a way to bring in more offensive firepower would be huge for the D-Backs. Carroll is a great player, but with Marte, Perdomo, and others not playing as well as they should, the Diamondbacks need some help on offense this season.<\/p>\n
