Two months ago, on the day he became eligible to buy a six-pack of beer, Evan Carter played his first game at Triple-A.
On Saturday, he was batting third for the American League champion Rangers in Game 2 of the World Series.
“, that feels like three years ago at this point,” Carter said Saturday before Game 2 at Globe Life Field. “Time’s flown by. It’s crazy that it’s almost November now. This is the farthest I’ve ever played baseball before. But where else would you rather be? Evan Carter of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates after scoring a run in the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks during Game 1.“This is every ball player’s dream.
He hit .307 with five home runs and a 1.059 OPS in 23 games and has not cooled off in the playoffs, entering Saturday batting .311 with a .992 OPS. “He’s only going to get better on all facets of the game but, more importantly, is the makeup of the kid, he’s got that mental toughness you love.”
