The term “super-utility player” is sometimes employed hyperbolically, but in the case of Carrigg, it fits like a glove (any kind of baseball glove in Carrigg’s case). The 21-year-old has played literally every position (and played them well) in a college or pro game over the last three years — and he’s even a switch-hitter so he provides versatility there too.

Mid-season 2023 Rank: 18

High Ballot: 5

Mode Ballot: 10

Future Value: 40+, super-utility player with regular upside

Contract Status: 2023 Competitive Balance Round B, Not Rule 5 Eligible, three options remaining

MLB ETA: 2026

Colorado drafted the 6’3” Carrigg 65th overall in 2023 as a catcher, where his plus-plus arm (he threw 102 MPH from the outfield at the Draft Combine) could make him a defensive weapon in a MLB where robots are calling balls and strikes.
