power bat with middle-of-the-order bite, but 2026 has been lost to injury
Carino was a legitimate impact hitter for Sacramento State in the 2025 season, batting .314 with 7 home runs, 27 RBIs and a .938 OPS while earning honorable mention all-Big Sky and Big Sky Player of the Week honors after a monster Montana series. She stands out for real pull-side pop, clutch damage, and the kind of intensity that can change a game in one swing — including an inside-the-park grand slam. The catch: Sacramento State listed her as out for the 2026 season because of injury, so right now the appeal is upside and future fit, not immediate availability.
