  Caraway hit .462 with seven homers, 11 doubles and 20 RBIs as a senior at JSerra High in California.

His 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame oozes physicality with a thick lower half and serious forearm strength. Caraway’s offensive prowess is the best part of his game.

  Caraway is the latest draft prospect out of national prep power JSerra (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) High, which produced catcher Austin Hedges and 2017 No. 1 overall pick Royce Lewis. Caraway starred as one of impactful hitters on the summer showcase circuit and continued to mash this spring, leading the Boras Class in several offensive categories and breaking Lewis’ school single-season hits record while leading the Lions to their second-straight CIF title. Cararway is a strong, filled-out righthanded hitter with a sound, balanced swing and plenty of bat speed. He has a good feel for picking out pitches to hit and makes loud contact to all fields. He can pull balls with authority or shoot them hard the other way and projects to hit for both average and power. There is little doubt Caraway will hit, but his defense is a question mark. His lower half has thickened as he’s aged and he displayed slow feet, little range and poor reaction times at third base this spring. He has above-average arm strength, but he’s a below-average defender on the left side of the infield and will likely have to move to first base. Caraway is old for the class and will be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2025 if he reaches campus at Oregon State. His potential to be an impact hitter has teams interested in the second or third round despite his defensive limitations.
