| Summary: A dual-sport athlete who also lines up at quarterback, Carlson’s athleticism and body control translate directly to the mound — a clean, repeatable operation from a high three-quarter arm slot with an effortless quality that generates consistent strikes and an arm speed that already suggests more velocity is coming. The fastball has reached the mid-90s with lively action when elevated, and a physical frame that still carries meaningful projection gives the velocity ceiling real room to develop as the body matures. The secondary arsenal is what elevates the profile from a high-floor look to a genuine ceiling conversation. A sharp breaking ball in the upper 70s to low 80s with feel and shape that project toward a plus offering is the secondary with the most long-term upside. A changeup with late fading action has already played as an above-average weapon in live action, and a firm curveball with depth and downward break rounds out a three-pitch mix where each offering projects toward above-average or better at full development. The feel for executing multiple pitch shapes at this stage of development is as advanced as any prep arm in the class. The mid-rotation ceiling is grounded in an arsenal with genuine depth and a delivery that already shows command projection — a rare combination for a high school arm. A profile worth tracking closely as one of the stronger right-handed starter evaluations heading into the 2027 draft. | |||||||||||
