Sunday's trip to Overland Park gave us another look at C Carter Harper (Maize, 2027). Harper's strength came from behind the plate thanks to a quick, clean transfer where he led all catchers in both pop time (1.87-1.95) and velocity (75 mph), consistently accurate and on the bag with all his throws. At the plate, he used a rotational stroke to drive balls with natural lift, posting a 94.5 mph exit velocity and adding a triple in game action.
