Carlos Carrasco is the best third starter in baseball

It’s hard to imagine a more likeable person in the Indians clubhouse than Carlos Carrasco.

Oh, he’s also humble and a studious player with a real appreciation for the game and those around him because of course he is.

Four years ago, Carlos Carrasco made his first @Indians start after regularly throwing out of the bullpen.
