Casey Carpenter brings legit gap-to-power upside to UNCW
Carpenter arrives at UNC Wilmington as a physically imposing 6-foot-2, 205-pound infielder with a proven high-school bat: he hit .390 with 39 doubles, 18 home runs and 110 RBIs across four seasons, then capped his prep career by batting .401 with 12 homers and earning MIAA Player of the Year in 2025. In his 2026 UNCW season, he flashed early-game impact with multiple home runs, including a two-run shot against Campbell and another two-run homer in CAA play, signaling real middle-of-the-order pop. If you want a tough, power-capable infielder with a decorated pedigree and room to keep climbing, he’s a name worth knowing.
