Carter
Young

Switch-hitter, has been going back and forth, regardless of the pitcher, but hit exclusively from the left side in this game. He double to straightaway center field in his first at-bat, putting a loose, quick swing on the ball. The bases were loaded in his next at-bat and he squared one up to right field, but it was caught at the track. He popped out in his third trip and was left on deck in the bottom of the fourth, before the game ended in the fifth due to the mercy rule. He made just one play on defense, an easy pop up in center field, but showed athleticism in pregame. He moves around the infield with ease, has athletic actions and an average arm.

SS, stood out defensively all week with his easy, athletic hands and feet. He consistently makes a quick, smooth exchange, especially on the pivot at second base and he has an average arm. He was 1-for-3 Thursday with a two-run single and a hard hit flyout.

On both plays, he was able to get to his feet quickly.

10/22/17 - Has a quiet confidence and high motor that makes him one of the top prospects in the 2019 class. He roped a double to the gap in his first at-bat. His quick hands rip through the zone to impact the ball after setting up with a reverse toe-tap. He, too, has a maturity about his preparation that stands out amongst his peers, and his high baseball IQ continues to help him grow as a player.

6/28/17 - One of a few 2019s at the event, and showed good barrel control Wednesday. He was 3-for-4 and made hard contact on all of his hits.

He is committed to Vanderbilt.
