Grip Strgth (RH)
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.
RHP Will Carter (Whitney Young) is an intriguing uncommitted pitching prospect to note. Carter stands at a lean 6-foot-6, 192-pounds, and boasted a high-carry (avg. 19.5” IVB) fastball at 86-88 mph (T89.8), while we have seen him run it up to 92 mph in the past. He would flash feel to spin the breaking ball (T2384 rpm) at 71-75 mph, and also showed a changeup at 81-82 mph.
Positional Profile: RHP/1B
Body: 6-6, 192.5-pounds.
Delivery: High leg kick, easy mover, rides back leg down the mound, works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 slot, longer action.
FB: T90, 87-89 mph. Riding fastball with late movement, IVB around 20, works up and down. T1995, 1848 average rpm.
CB: 72-74 mph. Sharp 12/6 movement, consistently gets on top of it, swing and miss pitch. T2384, 2081 average rpm.
CH: 81-83 mph. Kills spin, has some dive to the arm-side. T1582, 1579 average rpm.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-5, 200-pounds.
Delivery: Stretch-only, medium leg lift, drop/drive delivery, foot lands slightly closed.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm action, 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 84-86 mph. Attacks the botttom of the zone, firm. T2160, 1973 average rpm.
CB: 75-77 mph. Sharp, big break, 12/6 actions. T2372, 2034 average rpm.
CH: 79-79 mph. Thrown hard with some fade. T1946, 1762 average rpm.
There’s a lot to like about RHP Will Carter (Whitney Young, 2025). Listed at 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, Carter stands out immediately with his ultra-large and physical frame - looked to have added on some muscle since our last look over the summer. The big right-hander worked his fastball in the 85-88 mph range throughout his ‘pen, playing with some carry and an average IVB of 16.6” (T19.8”). He showed more feel than he has in the past for both of his offspeeds and landed them for some strikes, now allowing his fastball to play up even more. His curveball sat right at 72-74 mph and flashed sharp 11/5 shape - while his changeup sat 77-81 mph with slight fade.

Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-5, 200-pounds. Long-limbed, high-waisted build with plenty more room for continued physical development.
Delivery: Medium leg-lift, Uphill shoulders down the mound with a drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line.
Arm Action: RH. Quick, compact arm out of the glove into a high 3/4 to over-the-top slot.
FB: T88, 86-88 mph. Plays straight, life through the zone T1888, 1695 average rpm.
CB: 73-74 mph. Flashed sharp 11/5 shape. T2224, 2058 average rpm.
CH: 77-80 mph. Slight fade to the arm-side. T1902, 1813 average rpm.
