Ian Carter: C/RHP, (2025) out of Milford, MA. is a 5-foot-11, 152-pound two-way prospect. In the box, the right-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 93 MPH, with a (68.2 mph bat speed average) and (23.5 mph hand speed average). He begins in a balanced, athletic stance with a controlled load. Then uses a short stride to start a swing that takes a flat, simple path through the hitting zone. During his rounds, Carter showed a quick bat and some gap pop. While in the infield, Carter’s throws were up to 82 MPH, while showing he had a clean exchange, consistent, smooth footwork, and sure hands during the defensive workout. On the mound, Carter uses a long, over-the-top arm slot to produce a fastball that sits 81-82 MPH (Max spin 2000; Avg 1883) with some arm side tilt. He works out of an easy, slow-tempo, direct delivery. The balance at the top is good, he separates well and creates a good line with home plate as he begins down the mound. He lands square, finishing over the front foot. Carter also featured a good 12/6 curveball (69-70 MPH) and a sinking changeup (68-70 MPH).

Carter is a 5-foot-9, 150- pound right-handed hitting catching prospect. He hits out of a slightly open stance with the hands set just off the back shoulder. A leg kick begins the swing and allows him to load up onto the back side. The bat-head works through the hitting zone on a flat path, yielding a lot of line drives and a max exit velocity of 74 MPH. The simple swing is balanced and showcases his good hands.

Defensively, the young catcher was 68 MPH on his throws. His initial stance is balanced, with the glove relaxed in the middle of the chest. He transitions well into the throwing position. The feet, hips and shoulders create a good line with the target. His exchange is a bit low, causing him to work out of a long, low arm slot and create an uphill path. He finishes through the play and over onto his front side.

On the mound, Carter uses a short, simple delivery. He gets to a balanced position at the top and separates well before heading down the mound. The arm-swing is short and high, creating some downward sink on a fastball that sits 69-71 MPH. He also featured a change-up at 64-65 MPH that still looks to be developing.
