Scouting Report

Underclass Games 6/20/18

Carter is 5-11 with an athletic frame and a strong lower half, some projection left to his mature frame as he gets a bit taller. He hits from the right side, from a balanced slightly open athletic stance, short leg kick stride in place, smooth load back with some rhythm to his set-up. Gets some hip rotation but maintains very good balance and a firm base during his swing. Shorter path to the ball, slightly uphill path with extension through the ball, very strong at contact, line drive swing now that worked gap to gap, projects to have power to all fields as he continues to get stronger and tap into it more, exit velocity was 89. Behind the plate, quick clean exchange, throws from a high three-quarters arm slot with a short arm action, showed some accuracy on throw downs. Catcher velocity was 76 and pop times were 1.97-2.08.

Short to ball, slightly uphill swing path with extension through it. Showed good approach working middle of the field. Exit velocity was 84, has potential to have big power in the future. Behind the plate, receives ball with hands apart, quick clean transfer afterwards, gains ground to second. Throws from high three-quarters arm slot, short quick arm action, loose arm with life.
