Charlie Carter brings pop, patience, and catcher flexibility to Missouri State
In the 2026 season, Missouri State’s Charlie Carter has flashed impact at the plate with early home run power, including a 433-foot bomb on Opening Day, while also showing real on-base value and lineup pressure. The 6-foot-3 junior catcher brings a strong right-handed bat, gap-to-fence power, and a disciplined approach that earned him a team-leading 1.556 OPS in a small early sample. What makes him interesting isn’t just the stat line: he’s a physical, confident backstop with SEC-level transfer pedigree from Oklahoma State, and he looks like a fit for teams wanting a catcher who can punish mistakes and add edge.
