Cole
Carter

6/13/17 - H-1B: 4.81, Position Velocity: 69, Exit Velocity: 81, Pop Time: 2.02-2.15
5’11, 180-pound, RHH begins relaxed and in an open stance, using a leg kick and long stride that gathers his lower half and creates a lot of separation and before attacking the ball.  Carter is an aggressive hitter and generates much more bat speed and drive through the baseball than his 81 mph exit velocity would suggest.  His swing plane travels on a slight uphill path through the zone and can really elevate the ball with some authority.  Carter put together one of the best rounds of BP and showed himself as one of the best pure hitters at the event.  Defensively, he showed good footwork behind the plate and a pretty efficient exchange.  Some improvement in arm strength would be huge for Carter, as his showcase pop time did translate well to game action.  He finished 2-4 with a double and a walk in game play.
