The 5-foot-10, 175-pound senior center fielder posted a .540 batting average with nine home runs and 26 runs batted in this past season, leading the Lions (20-3) to the Metro League Tournament, where they ultimately fell in a double-elimination play-down. Carroll slugged nine home runs among his 19 extra-base hits, scoring 38 runs to go with 22 walks, 11 steals and a 1.206 slugging percentage. He won a gold medal in December with the USA Baseball Under-18 National Team at the Pan-American Championships in Panama.
Carroll has maintained an A-minus average in the classroom. He has signed a national letter of intent to play baseball on scholarship at the University of California Los Angeles this fall, but is projected as an early round selection in June’s Major League Baseball draft.
Carroll has volunteered locally with a food bank and homeless shelter, and he has donated his time as a youth baseball coach.
