So, what’s so great about this guy?

Irv Carter (he prefers Irv to Irving, I’ve been told), is not one of the very top prospects in this year’s draft. He’s more like a third round type at the moment, somewhere around in there. He’s not even the best pitching prospect on his own high school team, as he attends the same high school as Andrew Painter, who is almost certainly a lock for the first round.
