Sands, North Florida Christian (Tallahassee, Fla.), Pitcher Sands has already
experienced national competition as a member of Team USA 18U, which won the
gold medal last year. He posted a 7-2 record with 81 strikeouts and a 1.28 ERA
in 54.2 innings pitched. http://www.maxpreps.com/news/article.aspx?articleid=7c0ad513-b5e1-4ac1-b57e-8dedcc72c783&page=9

Carson Sands, lhp, North Florida Christian, Tallahassee, Fla./Orlando
Scorpions - Sands was one of two underclassmen to make the 18U team last
summer. A large frame, broad shoulders and strong lower half, give the
6-foot-4, 205-pound Sands a projectable body with room to fill out. The Florida
State commit sits 88-91 mph and touches 92 with natural cut due to his long arm
action. He has feel for a 77-78 mph changeup with fade and deceptive arm speed
that flashes average. His mid-70s breaking ball shows two-plane break and depth
at its best but is inconsistent. The 18-year-old gets downhill plane from an
arm slot above three-quarters. Carson’s young brother Cole, a rising junior
with a 90-91 mph fastball, also attended TOS and is one of the top arms in the
2015 class. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/

Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 42. Carson Sands, LHP, N. Florida
Christian HS (FL) - The 6’-3”, 215-pound southpaw has a low-90s fastball with
arm-side run and there is still room for more velocity as he matures. He has
great mound presence and looks like a polished pro. He also shows two solid
secondaries in a change-up and curveball. His command gets him in trouble at
times, but all of the ingredients are there. An alumni of Team USA Baseball, he
has played against the best competition. Committed to Florida State. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
8-15-13 - Under Armour All-Star Game – Carson
Sands, LHP: Similar in build and stuff to Griffin, the projectable Sands needs
a bit more consistency on his secondaries but both his change and breaking
ball. http://www.chicagonow.com/cubs-den/2013/08/2014-mlb-draft-ua-game-roster-and-preview-plus-more-tickets-and-meet-up-information/
