Fugiett

Carter Fugiett is a 2026 middle infielder with a 5-foot-11, 170-pound frame and a strong base at the plate. Offensively, he works from a short stride and level swing path, producing consistent contact with a tendency to pull off at times. He posted a 93 mph max exit velocity with an average of 85.2 mph, suggesting present strength with more to unlock. Defensively, Fugiett shows a loose, short arm action (75 mph across the infield) with developing footwork. There's room for growth in both mobility and refinement as his physical maturity continues.
