Carter jumped onto our scene as one of the top performers at the preseason All-State this past February. Walking onto the field he is instantly noticeable with his long and lengthy athletic frame. At the plate he hit from an athletic, slightly open setup. Its a late with somewhat rushed movements with leg kick that slightly opens up at footstrike in his load. But once the hands go, its an explosion. Direct path with fast bat speed and free hands. Nice extension and shows the ability to drive the ball. He does have a tendency to pull off the ball at times. Carter is quickly rising up the boards as one of the top prospects in the state of Virginia. There is still rawness to the game that makes for potential to be a special ball player. The sheer athleticism he brings gives plenty of reason for excitement. Needs to cut down swing and miss. Has two way potential that can pitch in the 86-89 range and has reportedly been up to 91mph.
