2025 Signature Event: Underclass Elite
While a lot of the hype heading into the event was on HPP Tigers teammate Max Nantais-Vlahovich, Rideout-Carter did well to stand out at the Underclass Combine this past July in Houston, turning in a strong outing before the rain sidetracked him late.
We saw DRC at a Scout Day up in Mississauga in May, and he’d made significant strides from what we saw last year, both at a Scout Day and our Underclass Combine. He’ll get an opportunity at the Underclass Elite to show what he can do against some of the best 2027 class hitters in the world.
