DirtySox Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 (edited) Will post the BA scouting report for those who haven't followed the draft cycle. Quote 9. Billy Carlson SS Ht: 6'1" | Wt: 175 | B-T: R-R School: Corona (Calif.) HS Drafted/Committed: Tennessee Age At Draft: 19.0 BA Grade: 60/Extreme California area scouts have spoken with anticipation about Carlson since his freshman days at Corona High, when he was just starting to show glimpses of his precocious baseball talent. At 6-foot-1, 180-pounds, Carlson is a lean and athletic two-way player who immediately stands out for his glovework and is regarded as one of—if not the best—defenders in the 2025 class. He has silky smooth actions in the field with clean hands, nimble footwork and a rocket of an arm that earns consistent 70-grade reviews. Carlson is more of an average runner without elite range to either side, but his advanced defensive instincts and arm strength should allow him to make all of the plays expected of a big league shortstop—and then some. He has real Gold Glove potential. Offensively, Carlson’s game centers on strong bat-to-ball skills, which give him a chance for an above-average hit tool. He has a narrow, upright stance with a high handset and a swing that can get stiff as he lunges at the ball at times, but he’s a high-level competitor in the box. He takes professional at-bats and can backspin the ball nicely to the opposite field. Carlson has a chance to develop average power potential, but scouts are split on how confident they are with that piece of his game. He would be a pro prospect on the mound as well, with a fastball up to 97 mph, a high-spin hammer curveball and a decent changeup. Carlson is a Tennessee commit and turns 19 shortly after the draft but is expected to be a top-15 pick. Scouting Grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run:50 | Field: 70 | Arm: 70. Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50. Edited July 13 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Surprised Irish fell. He seemed like a lock for a top 10 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 (edited) Do people care about spoilers anymore? Sounds like Arnold to the A's has heat. Then Fien to the Rangers. Edited July 13 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cws05champ Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Would have preferred Irish, but hopefully this kid develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 (edited) Hopefully bat works out, defense is maybe best in draft as at SS. Edited July 13 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 I wonder if Baltimore pushed Irish to 19? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
