Carr was drafted #41 in the 2005 MLB draft by the Mets. He came straight out of Twin Falls High School, where he posted a 17-4 record over his junior and senior year. Carr decided not to sign, and instead attended the College of Southern Idaho, where he went 5-3, 2.18 ERA, last year.
The Mets signed him as a draft-and-follow on May 24, 2006. Terms of his deal were not disclosed. Currently Carr is all speed, with a fastball that tops out at 95. OnDeck updated their ratings for the Appalachian League at the end of the 2006 season and ranked Carr the 10th best starter in the league (181.34 rating) and the 14th top league prospect overall (1st on the team). His stats were… well… ok: 12 Games, 11 starts, 3-3, 4.88, 1.50. He did have 44Ks in 48 IP but gave up 23 BB as well.
Carr started and ended the season with St. Lucie, but spent the middle with Savannah. His combined record for the year was: 3-12, 5.22.
4-24-11: - Carr has been reborn as a reliever for St. Lucie in 2011 and, so far, so good: 2-0, 1.04, 6-G, 8.2-IP, 12-K, 1-BB.
8-13-11: - Stock Up – RP Nick Carr – Carr has come off the disabled list for the umpteenth time and pitched the first inning for the GCL Mets on Saturday. Stat line: 1.0-IP, 0-R, 1-H, 1-K. I assume he will eventually be assigned to St. Lucie, even though he should easily be pitching AA-ball right now. Another high ceiling prospect that went down multiple times with injuries.
