Carlson really passed the eye test catching bullpens throughout the pitching portion of the event. Most notably he caught arguably the top 2028 in attendance Anderson Kaufmann and made it look easy throughout. He is an advanced receiver with quiet, receptive hands, understands how to present pitches and is a willing and able blocker. He also peaked at 90 mph off the bat during BP, was 75 mph from the crouch and recorded a low pop time of 1.94.
Positional Profile: C/3B
Body: 5-8, 175.7-pounds.
Hit: RHH. Crouched, balanced setup, slightly open stance, works back to even. Minimal pre-pitch movement, hands work direct to the ball with slightly uphill path, all fields approach. 65 mph bat speed with 10g of rotational acceleration.
Power: 90 mph max exit velocity (80.3 avg.); 285-foot max batted distance.
Arm: RH. C - 75 mph. Short arm path, quick, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: 1.94-2.10 pop time range; Soft hands, quality receiver, clean and quick transfer, one-hop throws. Soft blocker.
Athletic Testing: 7.92 runner in the 60-yard dash; 15.70-inch max vertical jump.
2025 Junior Future Games: C Mason Carlson (Joliet Catholic, 2029) really impressed behind the plate with his receiving and blocking ability, Carlson stole many strikes for our pitcher and saved a number of runs with his ability to block and hold runners on. Carlson broke out at the event with multiple clutch hits as well. In the showcase, Carlson had a max EV of 92 mph with an average of 85 mph and max distance of 339’. In gameplay, had two extra base hits, and drove in four runs in ten at bats. Carlson is a physical 5-foot-7, 192-pound backstop that showed mature catching ability. Carlson is a name to follow for JCA.
