The youthful playoff infusion is the continuation of one of the best regular seasons for rookie hitters in MLB history.
Five rookies — Carter, Carroll, Baltimore’s Gunnar Henderson and Minnesota’s Royce Lewis and Edouard Julien — had OPS totals over 1.000, and Jung wasn’t far behind at .947.
“I’d say adrenaline-wise, it’s probably felt about the same as the regular season, maybe a tiny bit more,” Carroll said.
It's probably no coincidence that the Rangers started to struggle around the time he got hurt — the third baseman hit 23 homers during the regular season.
Texas had a 73-49 record in games he played during the regular season and a 17-23 mark when he didn't.
