Scouting the 2025 Draft: Trent Caraway

Trent Caraway 3B, College.  DOB;  3/29/2004.  B-R, T-R.  6' 2", 203 lbs.  

2024(College):  .339/.431/.516, 2 HR, 4 SB, 8.3 BB%, 31.9 K%, 72 PA.
2024(CCL):  .276/.362/.449, 4 HR, 5 SB, 11.2 BB%, 18.1 K%, 116 PA.

A draft eligible sophomore,  Caraway was highly rated for his bat coming out of HS.  Went undrafted due to a strong commitment to Oregon State.  He's got a big, strong, muscular frame and keeps his arms in on a short, power swing.  His freshman year was cut short due to a broken finger suffered on a bunt attempt(those college coaches-insert eye-roll emoji).  He came back to star in the Cape Cod League while cutting his K rate nearly in half.  He's got plenty of arm to play 3B but quetionable mobility.  He might be able to play a corner OF.  I like the bat better than some more highly ranked draft prospects but defensive limitations put a lot of pressure on it.
