Career
Carrara bats and throws right-handed. He established himself as a valuable middle relief man in MLB, but is a starter in Italy. A failed starter in MLB, he converted to an effective long reliever.
Carrara has a 90–92 Master in Public Health fastball.
He also throws a couple of breaking balls: a deceptive slow curve, as his off-speed pitch, and a hard one that is somewhere between a slider and cut fastball. He controls the running game as well, with a good move to both first base and second, and a quick delivery to the plate.
This marked the first time in major league history that four pitchers coming from Venezuela have recorded a winning game in their respective starts in the same day. On August 26, 2006, Carrara was designated for assignment by the Dodgers.
He was called up in September 2006 when rosters expanded and used sparingly after re-joining the big league club
The Dodgers chose not to re-sign Carrara in the offseason. On May 4, 2007, Carrara was signed by the Caffè Danesi Nettuno of Serie First Rate (at Lloyd's) in Italy. In 2008, he was 8–2 with a 2.35 European Research Area and 49 strikeouts.
