Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.

Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Prep Baseball All-American Game: A very-lean 6-foot, 159-pound frame, Carlson is a primary SS but continues to show elite-level two-way tools. Simple actions at the plate with a short, hanging leg trigger that allows him to stay balanced throughout while staying on-plane. Present feel for both the zone and barrel. Defensively is where the Vanderbilt commit shines, showing multiple above-average tools led by a present plus glove. Soft hands and quick feet work in tandem with impressive lateral range and transfers, and will make a habit of making tough plays look effortless. Carlson hops on the mound with a high-spin 89-91 that gets a ton of life through the zone and some arm-side run. Curveball is a weapon in the mid-to-high 70s that averages over 2800s RPM while holding consistent shape. Will miss bats with both pitches. It’s uncertain where Carlson has the higher upside on the mound or at short, but there’s zero question that upside is immense.
2022 FUTURE GAMES: Even without a monster statistical showing, Carlson more than left his mark on the PBR Future Games. The uber-athletic and wiry 6-foot-1, 170-pound two-way player had the highest upside of any player at the event, and looked the part of a future impact prospect in the ‘25 class. Silky smooth on the infield with advanced glove-to-hand capabilities, and a future plus-arm (91 mph across in this look), his long term potential at a premium position should drive up his next level value. At the plate, the right-handed hitter was equally as smooth utilizing a simple, fluid setup with efficient movement patterns that allowed quick hands to whip the barrel through the zone with advanced plate coverage in driving the ball to all fields. Future pull side power potential seems likely as the wiry frame continues to develop, and there is a youthful exuberance and quiet confidence that pervades in each look. Only amplifying his future potential, Carlson also showcased himself as one of the top pitching prospects, utilizing a quick arm to pump fastballs up over 90 mph with the best present and future breaking ball, a 74-77 hammer with more than 3000 rpm that he ripped off in any count with killer intention late. Still very young looking with plenty more physical development left, Carlson stamped himself as a must-follow talent coming out of California in 2025.
