Since being selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 24th round of the 2014 Major League Baseball draft out of Hilo High, Jodd Carter has made stops in Arizona, Mahoning Valley, Lake County and Lynchburg.
Carter’s been an Indian – a rookie league Indian, that is – a Scrapper, a Captain and a Hillcat while bouncing around three different levels of Single-A in Cleveland’s minor league system.
In 2017, the 21-year-old outfielder spent his entire season with the Advanced-A Lynchburg (Va.) Hillcats, hitting 11 home runs to surpass his combined total from his previous two-plus seasons.
