Now, he wants to try to join a sixth.
On Saturday, Carpenter became the first player cut from the Atlanta Braves spring roster. The 30-year old previously pitched for the Braves in 2013-14 and he was looking to rejoin the club after spending the past two seasons in New York with the Yankees and Washington with the Nationals.
Carpenter, 30, is a native of Fairmont and played with the WVU baseball team from 2004 to 2006.
Saturday’s news was, obviously, not pleasing for Carpenter who has appeared in a total of 218 MLB games since 2011.
