Carder showed tremendous strength in batting practice, clubbing multiple pullside homers with exits approaching triple digits, but his work on the bump to conclude the event caught my eye most. A physical, yet still immature in some ways, 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame creates intrigue with future projections still easy to make, and he showed present above average stuff for the grade. He uses a methodical paced delivery with a slight inward turn and balanced drop-and-drive with some athleticism shown from the top of the lift to finish. The arm works from a 3/4 angle, producing a mid-80s heater that played with sink/run and touched 86, with likely some room for that number to climb. I left bullish on the mid-70s slider, a tightly-spun offering that plays with real late sweep and has a chance to be a swing-and-miss pitch. The 80-81 CH played off the heater with fastball arm speed, as well. In summation, this feels like a late-blooming KY arm that has a chance to have a breakout junior season.
