1/11/26
Gavin Carcelen, Los Osos High (CA), 2029
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Projectable two-way with long limbs that have plenty of time to fill out and excel game even further.
Body: 6-0, 161-pounds. Long and lean frame with quick-twitch actions and room for continued strength gains as physical maturity comes.
Delivery: Works from a relaxed, easy windup with a quiet lower half and a shorter lift into the stride. The move stays compact early before building pace as the delivery unfolds. Finishes with good extension over the front side, creating a longer look at release. The overall tempo increases as the arm comes through, giving the motion a rhythmic, accelerating feel rather than a static one.
Arm Action: RH. Full arm circle with a quick, lively arm coming through a high three-quarter slot. The arm speed stands out, with a late, whippy finish through release. The action looks loose and athletic, fitting a developing, projectable arm.
FB: T81, 78-80 mph. Shows a developing ride/run look through the zone, with the ball staying on plane and working with some natural life. The pitch plays more on movement and shape than raw power at this stage, and the spin profile supports continued growth as strength and consistency improve. T2263, 2159 average rpm.
CB: 66-69 mph. Slow downward break with present whiff, especially in two-strike counts.Effective in FB tunnel. T2207, 2067 average rpm.
ATH: 7.24 runner in the 60. 1.65 and 3.93 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.

Gavin Carcelen, Los Osos High (CA), 2029
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Projectable two-way with long limbs that have plenty of time to fill out and excel game even further.
Body: 6-0, 161-pounds. Long and lean frame with quick-twitch actions and room for continued strength gains as physical maturity comes.
Hit: RHH. The bat starts flatter through the setup, and the load is slow and controlled, allowing the front foot to get down early. The swing is geared for line drives with a relaxed, easy operation through the zone. The barrel works well through the middle of the field, and the overall offensive look is built around contact quality and staying within the swing rather than selling out for power. Offensive profile is trending up. 64 mph bat speed with 9 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 91 max exit velocity, averaged 81.1 mph. 314' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-76 mph. Compact throwing action from a lower three-quarter slot. The ball comes out clean, and throws show consistent accuracy to the bases. The arm plays more on efficiency and repeatability than pure strength, with arm strength coming later down the line.
Defense: Shows soft, controlled footwork with a smooth gather into the fielding position. Actions through the baseball stay fluid, and the body remains under control from catch to release.
ATH: 7.24 runner in the 60. 1.65 and 3.93 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
1/11/26
Carcelen has made noticeable strides both physically and on the field since the Junior Future Games back in July, and the progress was evident throughout this showing. After growing an inch and adding 10 pounds, Carcelen now checks in at 6-0, 161 pounds, and the added strength is clearly translating. Offensively, his exit velocity climbed to 91 mph, working with a consistent line-drive approach, and he squared up the baseball twice in live game action. On the mound is where Carcelen really stood out. His fastball sat 79-81 mph with the ability to command it to the glove side, and the high spin rates (2100-2200+) paired with his projectable, wiry frame point toward future velocity gains. He recorded three strikeouts against five batters, relying heavily on his secondary offerings, highlighted by a curveball at 66-69 mph that showed slurve-like action and comfort using it in any count. Continued strength gains should be a key focus moving forward, though part of that development is likely to come naturally as he matures. For a freshman in attendance, Carcelen more than held his own and is clearly trending upward as he heads into his first high school season.

Hit: RHH. Knees slightly bent, balanced. Flat bat, slow and controlled load, getting the foot down early. Line drive swing, relaxed operation. Middle of the field approach.

Defense: Soft feet, smooth gather, fluid actions through the ball.

5/20/25

Carcelen once again flashed tools that will make him a name to know as he matriculates through high school. A primary infielder, he showed soft hands with an excellent first step and instincts. Puts good swings on the ball with a simple setup and compact swing through the zone. Squared up two balls resulting in an E6 and deep lineout to left field. Showed the ability to roam the outfield with ease as his long frame glides from gap-to-gap. Intriguing prospect that plays the game with the type of joy that many kids his age don’t.

5/18/25

Gavin Carcelen, Los Osos High (CA), 2029
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Intriguing two-way player that can swing for power and has relief pitcher potential.
Body: 5-11, 150-pounds. Lean, long frame
Delivery: Glove stays above belt when set. Lifts glove to chest in windup. High leg kick. Lands short and softly after pitch.
Arm Action: RH. Full circle arm path. Low 3/4 arm slot. Quick release, with whip-action on FB. Follows through when landing.
FB: T78, 75-77 mph. 2SM/4SM play in the zone. Can through for strikes high in zone. T2124, 2014 average rpm.
CB: 60-63 mph. Commands for strikes and induces many whiffs. Frisbee-like action through zone with sharp break. T2228, 2028 average rpm.

Gavin Carcelen, Los Osos High (CA), 2029
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Intriguing two-way player that can swing for power and has relief pitcher potential.
Body: 5-11, 150-pounds. Lean, long frame
Hit: RHH. Tall, wide stance with knees slightly bent. Bat waggles behind helmet angled towards 3rd base dugout. Strides with small leg kick. Minimal hip torque when loading in back leg. Turns body inside during load creating upper body torque. Bat stays long through zone, with explosive hand speed. Classic two-hand finish.
Power: 88 max exit velocity, averaged 74.7 mph. 246' max distance.
Arm: RH. INF-75 mph. Side arm slot playing INF position. Whippy arm action.
Defense: Has feel for SS position. Footwork is smooth, but can lag behind.

3/30/25

Long and lean at 5-foot-11 and 149lbs., Carcelen showed himself to be an athletic MINF type with soft hands and a strong (76 mph), accurate arms showing the ability to make throws from all angles. Plays light on his feet and moves very well in all directions while funneling the ball out front. At the plate he starts upright up with high hands before getting the barrel into the zone consistently. Favors the pullside to the middle of the field with a max exit velo of 86.9 mph while focusing on hitting the ball on a line without a lot of loft.
