Dominick Carbone was Coastal Carolina’s bullpen weapon — then a UCL injury hit the pause button
In the 2025 season, Dominick Carbone was one of Coastal Carolina’s most trusted late-inning arms, going 6-0 with a 2.36 ERA, 52 strikeouts, and five saves over 41.0 innings, which is why he entered 2026 as a preseason All-American and Stopper of the Year watch-list name. He stood out for command, poise, and bat-missing ability, but his 2026 season ended before it began after UCL reconstruction surgery. If you’re evaluating fit, the upside is obvious; the immediate question is recovery timeline, not talent.
