How an untimely injury to All-Star Adolis García opened the door for rookie Evan Carter — and helped both players maximize the Rangers' offense ahead of the postseason.
slammed his right hand in frustration against the warning-track dirt at Globe Life Field, upset that his second-inning attempt to rob a' home run and RBI leader out of the game after a visit from a trainer. Tests would reveal a strained patellar tendon in his right knee that would send him to the injured list, making García the latest casualty in a promising season that suddenly seemed to be going off the rails.
The speedy outfielder's advanced plate discipline, pitch recognition and ability to hit to all fields helped him zoom through the system. At 19 years old last year, Carter hit 36% better than league average as the youngest player on his high-A Hickory club. He showcased his offensive skill set with 11 homers, 10 triples, 18 doubles and 26 steals.
"We didn't want to set unfair expectations for him, especially at a point when the team was struggling, but we were confident that he was going to be a boost for us," Young said."I can't say we expected it to be this impactful." The power was the most unanticipated boon. The wiry 6-foot-2 outfielder doesn't possess the raw strength of most top prospects, but his bat packs enough punch that he can punish any pitch that catches too much of the middle or inner half of the plate, where he can tap into his pull-side pop.
