Carson Kerce
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Profile fits as a contact-forward, defense-first shortstop who can anchor the position if the range holds and the bat stays near the top of his amateur track record. Likely offensive ceiling is more high-average, gap-oriented production than middle-of-the-order power, putting pressure on his on-base skills and glove. If he maintains enough quickness and arm utility, he can be a solid everyday or second-division regular at short; a move to second or third would require incremental power or OBP gains. Given age, polish, and modest physical projection, most growth will come from approach, swing-shape tuning, and small defensive refinements rather than big jumps in raw tools.
