late-inning Cajuns weapon with live arm and closing bite
In the 2026 season, Garret Carter emerged as a high-leverage right-hander for Louisiana, working both the back end and the middle innings with a live arm that reportedly touches the upper 90s. He logged 21 appearances, 28 innings, 25 strikeouts and three saves for the Cajuns, and he already showed he can finish games under pressure with a save against Kansas State and a strong 3.1-inning relief outing at Dallas Baptist. He’s the kind of pitcher who gives a staff swagger: power, strikeout ability, and no fear of the moment.
