Texas Rangers outfielder Evan Carter has been named a minor league Gold Glove winner for 2022, it was announced today. Carter is one of three outfielders who were named, with Mets’ prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong and Brewers’ prospect Jackson Chourio rounding out the outfield.
It is an impressive achievement for Carter, who spent most of 2022 at high-A Hickory and earned a late season promotion to AA Frisco despite not turning 20 years old until late August. Carter slashed .295/.397/.489 in 475 plate appearances between high-A and AA, with 28 stolen bases in 41 attempts.
