Carter
Lennington

Lincoln Land commit, currently ranked No. 98 in Illinois. 6-foot, 191-pound frame, strong and long-levered, room to continue to add strength. The right-handed hitter has easy strength in his swing with a simple operation, finishing the day 1-for-3 with the game’s lone RBI. He showed the ability to control his barrel and match plane, working hard on the barrel to his pull-side for a double on a pitch down and in. Steady defender behind the plate, willing blocker that is able to deaden the ball out front and square the baseball up, works to present pitches around the zone.

Verbally committed Lincoln Land CC.

Uncommitted and currently ranked No. 166 in the state. Lennington was all over the barrel throughout the tournament, hitting a pair of homers in the first two games for Top Tier, and then adding onto it with a double on Saturday afternoon. Presents a 6-foot, 190-pound frame with apparent strength in the lower-half that he utilizes for power. Defensively, he presents a large target behind the plate and has flexibility in the hips, allowing him to get to pitches on both sides of the plate. Lennington also showed a visibly strong arm that played true and accurate.

C Carter Lennington (Minooka) gave an upside look over the weekend. Listed at 6-foot, 190-pounds with lean strength, the right-handed hitter creates easy juice with quick hands and a flat path, looking to elevate the ball up the middle while creating extension through the hitting zone; maxing out at 99.4 mph for his EV with a max distance of 363’. He creates well above-average BLAST metrics; averaging 26 mph for his hand-speed (T26.8 mph), 78.8 mph for his bat-speed (T81.9 mph) and 19.2 G’s for his rotational acceleration (T22 G’s). Behind the plate, Lennington has a loose arm with clean actions out of the crouch, his arm plays around the bag consistently, producing a pop-time as low as 2.00 seconds (T77 mph).

C Carter Lennington (Minooka, 2025) was no stranger to hard contact throughout his two day showing. Lanky and projectable, 6-foot-1, 190-pound frame. The right-handed hitter put his bat-strength on display multiple times, initially in his round of BP where he averaged 89.5 mph for his exit velocity with a max EV of 93.1 mph, reaching up to 340’ for his max distance. In gameplay, he delivered hard, lifted contact to his pull-side with easy jump off the barrel. Has some rhythm in his load, utilizing a toe-tap before firing into an uphill path with intent to lift.
