Evan Carter: Elite or Just Good Enough?

The Texas Rangers OF Evan Carter has burst onto the scene with fantastic peripherals and an impressive barrel rate. Let's discuss what makes him such a good hitter in his small sample of performance, the one clear hole in his swing and what to watch for going forward.

His performance in the playoffs this year has been Bonds-esque.

[@mikerichards8456]

cant hit lefty and his lack of power is alarming

[@abaofifsz]

Still a kid. And lol lack of power. He was huge in the playoffs. He a lanky kid. He will get more pop.

[@mikerichards8456]

@@abaofifsz he was plugged into a good situation and got lucky it worked. they will have moved away from him to give wyatt langford his rightful spot by the playoffs next year

​@@mikerichards8456Why not have Carter Langford

[@joshuastar77]

​@mikerichards8456 they will let Carter play center feild and Langford will play left feild or DH. I still think we keep Tavaras this year to ease Carter and Langford into the lineup in a 162 game season, but after this year, I think we trade Tavaras away because he will be position locked.
