Reliever elected free agency after going unclaimed on outright waivers, per the at MLB.com. The Rockies designated him for a signment over the weekend when they called up . Its the third career outright for Carasiti, who can choose free agency each time he clears waivers. Carasiti made seven big league appearances, allowing 10 runs in 8 2/3 innings. It was the 32-year-olds second consecutive season working out of Bud Blacks bullpen. The former sixth-round draftee to sed a personal-high 24 1/3 frames with Colorado last year, allowing a 6.29 earned run average. Carasiti has surrendered 7.41 earned runs per nine in 58 1/3 MLB innings over parts of four campaigns dating back to 2016. A St. Johns product, Carasiti owns a 4.18 ERA over six seasons in Triple-A. Marc Gasol Jersey He struggled at that level this year, allowing almost six earned runs per nine with Colorados top farm team in Albuquerque. Thats a very difficult place to pitch, though, and he managed to strike out nearly 27% of opposing hitters. Carasiti has fanned upwards of a quarter of his opponents in his Triple-A career behind a mid-90s fastball and a forkball, a rarely-seen offering in todays MLB, that sits around 80 MPH. Hes never had great control, walking more than 10% of his opponents in Triple-A and the majors, but his arsenal has gotten him minor league looks from the Cubs, Mariners (who briefly called him up in 2019) and Giants in addition to a stint in Japan with the Yakult Swallows back in 2018. The Rockies initially drafted Carasiti and have signed him to a handful of minor league contracts over the years. It wouldnt be a surprise to see them circle back on a new non-roster deal, but his camp will have the chance to explore other opportunities. Xavier Tillman Jersey
