The Rangers selected Carter — who turned 21 last month — in the second round of the 2020 MLB Draft.
Carter is a legitimate prospect, but it won’t be easy for him, at 21, to replace García. —Carter was the Rangers’ second-round pick in the shortened 2020 draft and was seen by other teams as a real reach, but the Rangers’ scouts have been vindicated, as he has hit his way up the ladder the last two years, posting very strong walk rates at every level where he has played.
He’s a disciplined hitter who’s unafraid to work deep counts and can sometimes take a few too many strikes, with doubles power that might end up getting him to 15-18 homers a year. He’s also a plus runner who can definitely play center field, although he doesn’t have the same range as incumbent and probably profiles best in right given the Rangers’ other options. If nothing else, it sets Carter up to compete for the one open outfield job in Arlington next spring. —Carter, 6 feet 2 and 190 pounds, entered the year as the No. 53 prospect in the sport, per Law’s rankings. He slashed .285/.410/.459 over his three minor-league seasons.
The Rangers are squarely in the AL wild-card race, half a game back of the Blue Jays for the third spot.
