I don't know if the rest of the baseball world knows this, but a couple years ago Carrasco and Trevor Bauer came up with a unique way to kill time on days when they weren't starting.

If the team was winning, they would take a baseball and modify it to make it look like one of their teammates. They would cut open the cover, fluff the threads out to make hair, and draw eyes and facial features on the baseball. The results were hilariously accurate.

I don't know what they eventually did with the baseballs, but I thought it would have been great to auction them off for charity.
