Carter is a 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder who has an intriguing mix of physical tools. An above-average runner, Carter ran a 6.47-second 60-yard dash during the 2022 Perfect Game National Showcase, and also threw 90 mph from the outfield and flashed some pop from the right side of the plate. With solid power and speed tools, Carter has a bit of upside in the tank, but scouts are skeptical of his swing, which gets choppy at times and is quickly in and out of the zone. He has a high back elbow and could do a better job getting on plane with the baseball. He’s also shown some swing-and-miss tendencies against 90-plus mph velocity and will need more reps against quality pitching. Because of the swing questions, there’s a chance Carter reaches campus at East Carolina, where he’ll have an opportunity to prove his hitting chops with a college program that has done a nice job developing hitters in recent years.
