One thing to keep in mind when you look up Carmani Boozer’s height, you will often find a short, slightly conflicting statement that is worth contemplating. That’s what Perfect Game, a scouting service that tracks pretty much every major high school baseball prospect in the country, has him listed at 6 foot 2, 200 pounds. He is now playing collegiate baseball at the University of Fort Lauderdale where he is listed at 6 foot 3 on the 2025 roster. The truth is that a kid who finished maturing between his senior year and his rookie college season would be somewhere in that inch. He was 6 foot 2 before and 6 foot 3 now.
Carmani Boozer is the oldest child of CeCe Boozer and Carlos Boozer, a former Duke star and two time NBA All Star. He’s the big brother of Cameron and Cayden Boozer, the twin duo who are now tied to Duke basketball and are projected to be some of the most hyped college prospects of their age. In a house with so much athletic gravity, you would expect the oldest brother would own the basketball court. No he didn’t. Manning and pitching, Carmani plays the right side of the baseball. first base, has a crisper swing than you might expect from a guy his size, and a precise delivery that has been hailed by evaluators as repeatable.

Reading his early profiles, one gets the idea his career would always be more muted than his brothers. The language of the Perfect Game scouting reports is the language of potential, not a finished product: tall, lean frame, soft hands on the field, long limbs that provide deception on the mound. Limited games in his career, he has a .161 batting average with an OPS of .450, his fastball tops out at 83 and his 10 yard split is 1.79. The pitching numbers tell a better story with a 5.25 ERA in 24 innings with 19 strikeouts. The stats are modest but the guy they speak of is still developing.
It’s hard to miss the height question rarely asked in isolation. Carmani’s life story is mostly about his medical career which provided fame to his family long before basketball did. He was born with sickle cell anemia and by the age of two had a bone marrow transplant, numerous hospital stays and chemotherapy, which took 40 days of care. CeCe Boozer spent months looking into the ailment and pushing for a treatment most parents would never have known existed. The stem cells are from his twin siblings, conceived via in vitro fertilization (IVF). Of the 26 fertilized eggs, two were free of the anomaly and 10 were compatible. Her body received two embryos. Cameron and Cayden were born on July 18, 2007. In 2008, The Associated Press reported that six months after the transplant Carmani was free of sickle cells. And so he was made well.
“I don’t remember any of that,” Carmani has said. He was just too young. They saved my life he said, but in the 2024 ESPN documentary Blood Brothers, which revisited a story that the network originally aired in 2008. Every retelling has that line because it rolls off the tongue. Plain and simple. Three words.
Carmani Boozer is listed at 6 3 on his current college roster, 6 2 on his high school scouting report and most likely still is growing into the body he’s been given. He plays the corners of the infield, pitches and sometimes goes golfing with dad. He gets significantly less attention for his whole career than the basketball brothers who saved him. There’s a symmetry about this; from a distance, the boy who needed his brothers remains a little out of view as they absorb the ruckus. Looks like it fits him.
