Hot Stove Update: Giants Sign Matt Carasiti Again

 The Giants made another minor league signing with a guy who you might have missed on his last trip through The Churn.  Matt Carasiti signed a minor league deal prior to the 2020 season but he suffered an injury in spring training and underwent Tommy John surgery.

Matt Carasiti RHP.  DOB:  7/23/1991.  6'3", 210 lbs.  

2019 AAA(Cubs):  1-1, 2.67, 27 IP, 7.57 K/9, 3.67 BB/9, 1.38 GB/FB.
2019 AAA(Mariners):  1-0, 4.96, 16.1 IP, 9.37 K/9, 3.86 BB/9, 1.67 GB/FB.
2019 MLB(Mariners):  0-1, 4.66, 9.2 IP, 9.31 K/9, 4.66 BB/9, 1.27 GB/FB, 95.4 FB Velocity.

Carasiti's main pitch is a 95 MPH sinker with secondary pitches evenly divided between a cutter and split.  He'll serve as an intriguing bullpen depth arm for the Giants in 2022.

  1. I feel like I have a pretty good idea of who the Giants sign, even the minor transactions, and I admit I have no idea who this young man is.
