Carter Richey brings impact contact, real pop, and versatility for Villanova
Carter Richey stands out as a right-handed bat with measurable power upside — Prep Baseball Report lists a 100.7 mph exit velocity, plus strong bat and hand speed — and he already showed run production at the junior-college level, including 14 doubles and 42 RBIs in 2025 at VCU/SMCC. He profiles as a tough, versatile fit because he can handle catcher and corner-infield duties, which adds roster flexibility. For a team, the appeal is a player whose offensive tools suggest impact potential, especially if you value physicality, lineup depth, and multi-position coverage.
