Carter, 21, put together one of the best postseason runs ever by a rookie on the road to the Rangers’ first ever World Series title.
Texas Rangers’ Evan Carter, left, celebrates a double as Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, right, looks on during the seventh inning in Game 5 of the World Series, Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, in Phoenix.PHOENIX — Two-and-a-half months ago — on Aug. 17, to be laser accurate — a Double-A baseball player in the Texas Rangers’ farm system sat by a bench overlooking RoughRiders Field in Frisco and allowed his mind to wander.Good thing. There’d be a lot of it in Carter’s future.
Carter’s postseason run went down as one of the best by a rookie in baseball history. His 18 hits ranked seventh all-time for a rookie in a single postseason, and of those ahead of him on that list, the closest to him in age is 22-year-old Derek Jeter, who recorded 22 hits in 1996. His 10 walks were tied with Craig Counsell for the most-ever by a rookie in the postseason.He reached base in all 17 of Texas’ playoff games and had a hit in 15 of them. Carter slashed .300/.417/.500, and his .
Thanks in large part to Carter. His double off of Gallen’s knuckle curveball was just the Rangers’ second hit of the game after Arizona’s right-handed ace no-hit them through six innings, and it moved Seager — whose slow-rolling single to start the inning was the team’s first — into scoring position.
