Two months after he was playing in the Texas League, Carter is batting in the heart of the Rangers' lineup. We break down what's powering his quick rise.
manager Bruce Bochy has a deep, gravelly voice that suggests the seriousness of a drill sergeant from a World War II movie. However, when asked about, his 21-year-old rookie left fielder who has become a sensation during Texas' 7-0 start to the postseason, Bochy seems to get a little glow across his face. Is that a smile?."He plays the game you want your guys to play. Have fun. Play with joy. He has that innocence about him you love.
To be fair, the swing hasn't changed much. The biggest differences are that he now stands more upright and has shortened his stride. Minor tweaks. But the clean, line-drive stroke that led to the Rangers picking him in the second round of the 2020 draft out of small-town Elizabethton High School in Tennessee was always there.Carter's selection was one of the most surprising in recent draft history.
Carter's ultimate power production might be the biggest question about his future. He has the hit tool. He has plate discipline. He has speed and is a center fielder playing left because the Rangers have a plus defender in In the minors, teammates nicknamed him"Full Count Carter" for his propensity to work the count to the max. Indeed, he drew 81 walks in 513 plate appearances in the minors. But note that both the home run off Eflin and the double off Bradish came against first pitches. The double offin Game 1 came on a 2-0 pitch -- a pitch many batters will take. Carter appears to be adjusting his game to the situation.
