As the Washington Huskies’ roster shuffle continues in the transfer portal, outfielder Brooklyn Carter announced on social media that she will officially be leaving coach Heather Tarr and Seattle for Waco, Texas, and the Baylor Bears.
Coach Glenn Moore went looking for an outfielder who can be consistent at the plate as he looks to replace seniors Taylor Strain and Ana Watson, and has found that in Carter. During her two years at Washington, Carter batted .301 with a .316 on-base percentage and 16 runs batted in while mainly working out of the leadoff spot.
More importantly, she was one of the biggest threats on the basepaths in the Pac-12. She stole 49 bases over her two seasons on Montlake, including going a perfect 21 for 21 in 2024.
Her speed and athleticism, which helped her earn a spot on the All-Pac-12 Freshman Team in 2023, will be very useful for Moore, as the Bears only stole 39 bases as a team last season. Carter will also be an asset on defense, as she boasts a .984 fielding percentage with just 1 error across 63 chances.
