A pair of Top 100 talents step into the spotlight at 12:30 ET, as MLB's No. 19 prospect (and Arizona's No. 2), Corbin Carroll, leads the Sod Poodles against MLB's No. 29 prospect (and St. Louis' No. 1), Jordan Walker, and the Cardinals.

Tuesday's Texas League matinee will be Carroll's first action since the 21-year-old outfielder posted his second straight two-homer game on Sunday. Nobody is predicting he'll pop off twice more to open the series at Springfield, but then again, why wouldn't he?
The 2019 first-rounder has nine dingers on the year, with six of them coming in the last couple weeks. Complementing his power with 70-grade speed and an advanced approach, Carroll is batting .326 and is in the top 10 in the league in homers (T-2nd), OBP (5th -- .458), slugging (4th -- .695), OPS (4th -- 1.153), total bases (2nd -- 66) and more. He also has eight steals.

Although Walker's 65-grade power has yet to become a major factor this year -- he has one homer through 24 games -- the 19-year-old third baseman has also been one of the circuit's most productive players on offense. Walker, who is the youngest hitter in the Texas League by over a year, put up a .303/.431/.416 slash line, and his 10 stolen bases tie him for fourth in the league.
And both Amarillo's and Springfield's rosters are deeper than their marquee names.
For starters, No. 18 D-backs prospect (and Prospect Team of the Week outfielder) Dominic Fletcher and No. 24 D-backs prospect Blaze Alexander are -- like Carroll -- coming off two-homer performances.
No. 26 Cardinals prospect Julio E. Rodriguez has two homers in his last three games, and Springfield's Moisés Gómez leads all of the Minors with 14 jacks.
