Carlos Carrasco is set to introduce himself to Mets fans and the media that cover the team this afternoon with a virtual press conference, much like Francisco Lindor did yesterday. And while Lindor is the superstar generational talent, Carrasco is very, very good himself, as David Capobianco outlined here at Amazin’ Avenue shortly after the trade.
Carrasco throw several pitches and has been throwing them for years: a four-seam fastball, sinker, changeup, slider, and curveball, per Brooks Baseball. In terms of velocity, Carrasco’s hardest pitches were thrown in 2013 through 2015, as his four-seam fastball averaged 95.
