Carter Harcek: RHP/3B, (2027) Dow High School, MI. 6-foot, 165-pound. (61.4 mph bat speed average). (18.2 mph hand speed average).

He found lots of barrels with loud contact. Opposite field approach. In the infield, recorded a position velocity of 72 mph. Solid on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a moderate quick arm action while showing good arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and shows some effort. Tall balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with recoil upright finish. (Max spin 1908; Avg 1839).
