Carrier and Carlos Luis Carrasco Net Worth

Carrasco signed with the Phillies and made his MLB debut on June 10, 2009, against the Chicago Cubs. He pitched six innings and allowed two runs in his first start. He struggled with injuries and inconsistency throughout his tenure with the Phillies, posting a career ERA of 4.04 and a record of 303-107 in 107 games. He was traded to the Cleveland Indians on July 31, 2015, for three prospects.

Carrasco had a breakout season with the Indians in 2016, winning his first All-Star selection and finishing second in the American League Cy Young Award voting behind Corey Kluber. He also led the league in wins (17), complete games (8), shutouts (2), strikeouts per nine innings (10.1), and WHIP (1.03). He signed a four-year contract extension with the Indians worth $36 million before the start of the 2017 season.

Carrasco continued to pitch well for the Indians until he suffered multiple injuries that sidelined him for most of the past two seasons. He underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2019 after tearing his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) while pitching against the Kansas City Royals. He missed most of the rest of that season and all of the following one as he recovered from surgery.

In July 2023, Carrasco returned to action for the Indians after missing more than two years due to injuries. He pitched six innings against the Detroit Tigers on July 29, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out six batters. However, he did not pitch again for Cleveland as he became a free agent after his contract expired at season’s end.

Carrasco’s net worth is estimated to be around $15 million as of now. His main source of income is from his baseball career as a pitcher.
