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.

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.
