6-foot-3, 215 pounds. Bats and throws left. A lot of juice in Carpenter's bat. Power to both gaps. Strong wrists and great extension through zone with level swing through zone but generates great back spin. Ball just flies off bat. Hard to pitch to because hands are back, and there is good plate coverage.
