While the Tommy White development has been painful, the news that power-hitting Old Dominion second baseman Carter Trice is transferring to NC State helped to soften the blow yesterday. The portal taketh, the portal giveth.
Trice has showcased plenty of power in two seasons with the Monarchs and hit 17 home runs in 53 games during the 2022 season. He slashed .289/.395/.606 in his sophomore season after slashing .355/.426/.633 as a freshman in 2021. He will fit nicely in the heart of NC State’s order.
Dude has decent wheels as well, going 26-32 (81.3%) on stolen base attempts in his two seasons.
