Samuel Carlson (born December 3, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher in the Seattle Mariners organization.
Career
Carlson attended Burnsville High School in Burnsville, Minnesota.[1] For his senior year, Carlson had a jump in velocity, going from the 88–92 range to 93–97.[2]
Carlson committed to the University of Florida to play college baseball.[3] He was drafted in the second round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft by the Seattle Mariners.[4][5][6][7] He signed with the Mariners and was assigned to the AZL Mariners, where he spent 2017, posting a 3.00 ERA in only three innings before being shut down due to minor elbow discomfort.[8]
Heading into the 2018 season, Carlson was ranked the #3 prospect and the top pitching prospect in the Mariners organization, but had the elbow discomfort return during the Mariners mini-camp in February and was shut down again. He was given a PRP injection and eventually started rehabbing, but a setback in his rehab forced him to undergo Tommy John surgery on July 2, causing him to miss the rest of 2018 and all of the 2019 season.[9][10]
