The Outlook: Carlson is a two-way player who may project at a higher level on the mound. He creates deception for the hitter with his high-front side and slight across-body delivery. Even with the deception he has a good overall feel for his three-pitch mix. Carlson is a quality left-handed arm who could possibly be a two-way player at the next level.
