Greysen Carter (2021 Louisville, CO) makes one of the biggest jumps and it was expected from how he ended his 2019 summer. Due to Covid and travel issues making things understandably difficult, Fort Myers was the PG staff's first look at the righty in 2020. The 92-96 mph fastball and hard breaking and high spin rate curveball in the 80 mph range were enough to remind everyone of the vast potential that Carter possesses.

Greysen Carter is a 2021 RHP/OF with a 6-4 205 lb. frame from Louisville, CO who attends Fairview. Big and strong athletic build with the chance to get even stronger. Hands over the head delivery, compact arm action in back with over the top arm slot that creates big angle to the plate, stays on line well, very little upper body lean off line for his arm slot. Fastball topped out at 93 mph with occasional nice cutting action, holds his velocity well from the stretch, fastball gets on hitters quickly, no reason he can evolve into a steady mid-90's thrower when physically mature. Firm change up to slow down hitter's bats a bit, tends to slow arm on his curveball, primary fastball pitcher at present. Switch-hitter who is much stronger at present from the right side, hits from a spread stance with a deep load and fast level swing, generates power to the middle of the field right handed and projects lots of power.

The 6-foot-4, 218 pound Carter last appeared at a PG event in August, 2019 at the All-American Underclass Games in San Diego, where he made the Top Prospect List.  He was an unknown enough prospect that at least one team this scout talked to didn’t even have Carter on their follow list for the event.  He will be now.  Carter was 92-96 mph for three innings with big downhill angle and heavy sinking life down in the zone, not a complete surprise as he topped out at 93 mph 15 months ago.  The big surprise was the 78-80 mph hammer curveball he showed with a spin rate around 2,700 rpm, a pitch he definitely didn’t have at the AA Underclass.  The future is bright for the Vanderbilt commit.
