Do we know anything about him?

Certainly his age and his production and this quick promo are great signs but I don't remember him as a bonus baby?

Carter Trice another HR

No bonus info so not a big one.

But yeah, this promotion squarely makes him interesting.

Especially considering he's a C

Speaking of interesting, Braylon Myers??

Longenhagen snuck a blurb about him into his recent list

Quote

Myers, 23, was a 2025 undrafted senior signee out of Alabama who thrived as a reliever thanks to his delivery’s deceptive moving parts and his good feel for slider location. His fastball has enjoyed a two-tick bump in the early going of 2026 (he’s now sitting 92), and he’s off to a great start at Myrtle Beach.

Wicks also appears fixed, which it's probably not a coincidence that it's after approximately a spring training's worth of minor league outings.  Swap him out for Trent Thornton (who he weirdly looks like) next week kthxbye

Carter Trice is starting to be worth paying a little attention to

 #18 Tate Southisene was a guy I wanted in last year's draft if he slipped into the 2nd round.
