Carter
Lund

RHP Carter Lund (Cambridge, 2024) had an upside look in the night cap of Saturday’s slate of action, rushing his fastball up to 86 mph. Over his two innings of work, Lund struck out four batters and didn’t allow a hit, maintaining his momentum after a strong spring and summer. In addition to a fastball that sat in the mid-80s with carry, Lund showcased a quality breaking ball that was thrown for strikes and used as an out-pitch. That combination, paired with the ability to get ahead of batters allowed Lund to find success, emerging as a solid right-handed pitching prospect that remains uncommitted.

Uncommitted. Cambridge went 4-0 this past week in part to Lund's contributions on both sides of the ball. At the plate Lund went 6-for-13 with five RBIs and two walks over the past week. Lund also tossed a no-hitter on the mound against Markesan where he struck out nine batters.
