Matthew Carta, Saugus High (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/1B Offensive profile RHH who shows continued development as a hitter that has emerging power with an intriguing ceiling for his offensive potential.
Body: 6-2, 193-pounds. Athletic projectable frame with some emerging strength
Hit: RHH. Taller set up in the box with narrow base to his feet and small knee bend. Vertical upper body posture. High back elbow with hands set up around the ear height and a flat bat angled towards LF foul territory. Kind of swayed load with a knee lift that gets deep past his rear leg while shifting his weight back before the forward move. Hips rotate with quickness and stays behind the baseball with his turn and slight sink into rear leg. Quickness to the operation and bat path which shows direct hands and a slightly uphill barrel. 72.9 mph bat speed with 17 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 91.1 mph. 360' max distance. Generated hard consistent contact in the air with a strong top end EV that all combines to give him a power profile as he learns to shift elevation from LD with carry into fly balls with carry. Middle of field to pullside power profile.
Arm: RH. OF-81 mph. Depth in the arm path out of glove with quickness to the arm speed and flashes carry to his throws with potential to handle RF and fits comfortably in LF.
Defense: Solid fundamental defender who has comfort playing on the corners in the OF and has potential to play RF long term.
ATH: 7.42 runner in the 60. Drives low off the line with short quick strides and body control.
Matthew Carta, Saugus (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/RHP Athletic actions; plays loose with a good understanding of the game.
Body: 6-3, 177-pounds. Long, lean, loose frame with present wiry strength throughout.
Hit: RHH. Slighty open stance with a short leg drift trigger; lands slightly closed to the ball. Stays behind the ball with the barrel while maintaining its plane throughout the swing. 74.9 mph bat speed with 6 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 86.4 mph. 297' max distance. More contact than power presently with some power projection.
Arm: RH. OF-73 mph. Arm works from the outfield as all throws were in-line to home; On deep balls throws were one hopped correctly.
Defense: Arrives to the ball under control and in position to quickly get rid of it. Shows plenty of range to both sides; reads the ball off the bat well and takes good angles.
ATH: 7.59 runner in the 60. 1.86 and 4.26 in the 10 and 30 yard splits.
