RHP Will Carter (Whitney Young) is an intriguing uncommitted pitching prospect to note. Carter stands at a lean 6-foot-6, 192-pounds, and boasted a high-carry (avg. 19.5” IVB) fastball at 86-88 mph (T89.8), while we have seen him run it up to 92 mph in the past. He would flash feel to spin the breaking ball (T2384 rpm) at 71-75 mph, and also showed a changeup at 81-82 mph.

There’s a lot to like about RHP Will Carter (Whitney Young, 2025). Listed at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, Carter stands out immediately with his ultra-large and physical frame - looked to have added on some muscle since our last look over the summer. The big right-hander worked his fastball in the 85-88 mph range throughout his ‘pen, playing with some carry and an average IVB of 16.6” (T19.8”). He showed more feel than he has in the past for both of his offspeeds and landed them for some strikes, now allowing his fastball to play up even more. His curveball sat right at 72-74 mph and flashed sharp 11/5 shape - while his changeup sat 77-81 mph with slight fade.
