Carlos Carrasco Looks to Improve on the Best Season of His Career So Far
7 years agoCleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco easily had the best season of his career so far in 2017. He threw 200 innings for the first time, started 32 games, and ended up with an 18-6 record and 3.29 ERA. He posted a solid strikeout rate of 10.17 K/9 and a strong walk rate of only 2.07 BB/9. He set career highs in innings, starts, strikeouts, and fWAR. Advanced metrics show Carrasco's success is mostly sustainable, so if he can maintain a full season of health like he did in 2017, similar numbers can be expected in 2018, making him a potential top-50 starter in fantasy leagues.
