Drafted in the 20th round (611th overall) by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016 (signed for $75,000).
View Draft Report
Seattle won the WAC's regular season behind a big finish by Carpenter, who was a 39th-round pick of the Padres out of high school and finally broke out as a junior. He started slowly but hit .400 in WAC games. Carpenter still has swing-and-miss issues but is a patient hitter, started laying off breaking stuff and out-muscled some fastballs. He's strong at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, has a plus arm and plays a capable third base.
