Billy Carlson - Prospect Profile

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "Carlson possesses smooth, rangy actions at the “six” with bounce, soft hands, and a quick release across the infield. His arm is very stout and grades out as plus or better at the position, too, leaving little doubt that he’ll stick at the position long term."

Prep Baseball Draft HQ - March 19th: "He fits the prototypical SoCal shortstop mold perfectly, so naturally it’s pretty easy to see him becoming one of the first high school players off the board as he continues to impress onlooking evaluators while playing against some of the top competition in the nation."

Carlos Collazo - Baseball America - March 10th: "He stays at shortstop and can play the game very well in all facets. Really good arm, mid 90s on the mound, can really defend, his contact skills are pretty good, and I think he will grow into 20-homer per year power."

Keith Law - The Athletic - March 4th: "Carlson's defense at shortstop is his calling card. He has an easy plus arm and is at least a 60 defender already, with a good swing but not much impact so far at the plate."

Kiley McDaniel - ESPN - February 21st: "Carlson is old for the high school class but had a strong summer and is above average at nearly everything on the field, including pitching in the mid-90s. He's a pro shortstop who is hit-over-power at the plate."
