  • OF/LHPPosition Projection

10/11/2023 - Arizona Freshman Fall Classic (2027) Carson continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities at the Arizona FR Fall Classic. In the OF, defensive abilities are solid as he displays smooth / fluid actions. He takes good first steps in reading balls off the bat. Feet are aggressive as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his foot quickness in covering a lot of ground. At the plate, hitting / power potential has improved through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work to and through a short / direct / level swing path, creating extension. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 70 mph. Fastball showed a range of 68-70 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 2/8 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Stock on the mound will continue to increase as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.

06/12/2023 - National Showcase - Orange County, CA Carson is an athletic, lean OF/LHP who has a promising future on the diamond. In the OF, he displays smooth fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He needs to work to get behind balls more to play through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his foot quickness (7.20 60 time) in covering a lot of ground. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 66-67 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with tailing action. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. With 4 years to further develop, Carson has potential with time and room to progress his game.

12/12/2021 - All-In Membership - San Bernardino, CA Carson is a switch hitting 1B/LHP in the class of 2027. Defensively, he showed efficient footwork and the ability to field the ground ball in the center of his body while also being athletic around the bag receiving throws. Offensively on the left hand side he exhibited good separation with loose hands to whip the barrel through the zone. On the right hand side, he did a good job of covering the plate and getting extension through the baseball through the middle of the field. On the bump, he displayed decent mechanics with a good lower half push while being able to repeat and keep the ball down in the zone. Carson had a good showing at the San Bernandino event and we expect with 3+ years of development he will continue to improve his game to the next level on the diamond.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
