Hunter
Carns

Prep Baseball All-American Game: Operating out of an open, shoulder width base, Carns utilizes a quick trigger into a deeper wide base pre-pitch that incorporates the lower half well while keeping the hands back into hitting position. Above-average bat speed with loose hands and top-of-the-class rotational acceleration allow the barrel to explode through the zone on-plane with present plus raw power and ability to tap into in-game as well. Athletic out of the crouch with a staggered base. Pop times range from 1.93-1.96 with a slightly above-average arm with accuracy. Potential to play throughout the outfield with excellent range and tracking. Impressive run tool with a 6.64 60 yard dash that has steadily improved throughout the year, and could be trending toward a near plus tool.
