Carlos Carrasco’s offseason work paying dividends early in Yankees camp

TAMPA — Carlos Carrasco may not have visited the fountain of youth, but he’s hoping he has found the fountain of velocity. The veteran right-hander, who signed with the Yankees on a minor league deal last week to provide starting depth, has been encouraged by the early returns of an offseason spent refining his mechanics and the new life it has given his fastball. It will take more than just that for Carrasco to become a factor for the Yankees at some point this season, but he believes he is at least putting himself in a better position to do so with a tick up in velocity.
