Uncommitted Spotlight: '24 SS/2B Thomas Carney


Steven Hardesty

 

   

The Uncommitted Spotlight Series continues as we wind down the '23 calendar and look towards the start of the '24 CIF High School baseball season by taking a look at some of the top uncommitted class of '24 athletes. This group of players is pulled directly from our '24 Rankings. They remain as the top players left on the board going into the start of their senior seasons.

We invite you to get to know them through their data-backed numbers collected at our events with our partnered companies. TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance, and Visual Edge provide comparable data to project and evaluate players. All of these systems come together to give a clear picture at what colleges will get when a players steps onto their campus.

Today, we put the spotlight on '24 SS Thomas Carney a LH hitter out of St. Augustine High School in San Diego. The 5'9 175 lbs. compact framed prospect shows a solid all around tool set. At the plate he features good use of the lower half and balance in his swing with a bat path that generates leverage through the middle of the field and shows power to the pull side. Feet are quick on the dirt with rhythm and range. Hands work with a quick transfer and his throws are accurate with average arm strength. There is potential to stick at SS, but can move off to 2B or even 3B to allow his LH bat to get in the lineup. An average athlete who runs a 7.1 60 with average burst at 1.72 in the 10 yard sprint. Solid LH hitting MIF prospect out of a baseball hotbed in San Diego who would be a good land for a college program.
