Fausto C. Carmona (born December 7, 1983) is a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball.
Carmona, a native of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, made his major league debut with the Indians on April 15, 2006. He was initially used as a starting pitcher but later in the season was turned into a reliever.
He is known for his hard sinker and exhibiting good control of his pitches. He did not throw exceptionally hard when he first debuted in the minor leagues at age 18 but has since developed a fastball that can reach 97 mph. He also throws a slider and a changeup.
Carmona was the first non-rehab start player and full-time roster member of the the Lake County Captains to play a game in the big leagues.
