Fausto C. Carmona was December 7th 1983 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He is a right handed starting pitcher for the Cleveland Indians.
Fausto Carmona made his debut in 2006 and it looked like it was going to be a great season for Carmona. He made his major league debut on April 15th in Detroit after an impressive outing. He would then be moved to the bullpen where he would thrive as a setup man.
Soon the Indians would make the decision to trade current closer Bob Wickman to the Atlanta Braves for Max Ramirez and enshrine Fausto as the new closer. Fausto would not respond well to his new role and blew 3 saves including two walk off homeruns.
Fausto would rebound in 2007 once again as a starter and win 19 games for the Indians in what was an incredible season for the Tribe. He would then go on to pitch one of the best games in his career in one of the most famous "ALDS" games ever... the "Bug Game".
Fausto got off to a good start in 2008 but then like most of the Tribe players began to struggle and eventually landed themselves on the disabled list. He would come back befores seasons end but was not the same Fausto from 2007.
