Carroll made changes to his swing mechanics after injuring his right shoulder during an at-bat last May, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carroll sustained a posterior capsular avulsion and a labrum tear in his right (non-throwing) shoulder while hitting a home run last May and did not play for the rest of the season. The injury happened on the follow-through of his swing, which at the time featured the release of his left hand. He worked during the offseason to switch from a one-handed to a two-handed follow-through. "I love it," Carroll said. "I think it forces my direction to be better. And so even if I do go back to a one-handed swing, I think I'll be better for it. But I'm just noticing, you know, I think maybe even [being] a little bit more balanced in the swing, as well." It's a change similar to the one Fernando Tatis Jr. made last year after experiencing issues with his left shoulder during the follow-through of one his swings.
