Carson Tinney - Prospect Profile

Baseball America - July 8th: "Tinney is massive, with a ton of strength and physicality packed into his 6-foot-4, 240-pound frame. His obvious carrying tool is power. He has at least 70-grade raw juice in the tank, with the ability to hit eye-popping home runs and easily homer from foul pole to foul pole. His raw power is among the best in the class, and his 90th percentile exit velocity of 112.3 mph stacks up with most hitters in the country."

MLB -July : "He generates high-end exit velocities, but there are concerns about his hitting ability and how much of his double-plus raw pop he'll be able to get to in pro ball. He takes a lot of offspeed pitches for strikes and swings through a lot of offerings of all types in the zone, though he mitigates his excessive strikeouts with a healthy amount of walks."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "Tinney is huge for a catcher, but he’s been at least adequate there so far and has a plus arm, and if he can stick there he has the power to be a good backup or occasional regular there. It’s power over hit, but it might be 80 raw power; last year, while he was still at Notre Dame, his 90th percentile EV was 111.1 mph, and this year he bumped that up to 112.3 mph, both times ranking in the top 10 among all qualifying hitters."
