6'3" Powerhouse RHP with Elite Fastball & 0.79 ERA High School Dominance
Carter Derks, the 6'3", 205-lb freshman RHP for FAU, stands out with a big, strong athletic build and a fastball that consistently hits 80–82 mph with late life, as seen in his impressive Florida Summer Classic start. His high school career at St. Andrew's featured a dominant 0.79 ERA, 6th-ranked 2A ERA, and a .175 batting average against, proving elite control and intensity. Derks doesn't just rely on stats; he brings a fierce competitive fire, punching out 6 batters with just 2 walks in his first collegiate start. With no injury history and a personality that 'rolls' under pressure, he’s a perfect fit for teams needing a reliable, high-intensity power pitcher who looks the part and performs like a leader.
