View Draft Report
It has been five years since the 23-year-old Carley graduated from high school. His college career began at Air Force, where he pitched effectively for two seasons before Tommy John surgery in 2012. He missed the 2013 season after transferring to West Virginia and had an uneven season between the rotation and bullpen. He touched 94 mph early in the year, pitching at 88-92 in the rotation. His slider shows average potential but is inconsistent, and his changeup has a ways to go. Scouts consider him a strike-thrower with the potential for average control. The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Carley has an extra-large frame and husky build, and with his goatee and mullet has a strong physical resemblance to Kenny Powers.
