Robert Carson (born January 23, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Mets of Major League Baseball.
The Mets drafted Carson in the 14th round of the 2007 MLB Draft out of Hattiesburg High School.[1] He started the 2012 season with the Class-AA Binghamton Mets of the Eastern League.[2] The Mets first promoted him to the majors on April 24, but he didn't make an appearance before he was sent back to Binghamton.[3] On May 17, Carson was recalled back to New York, and D. J. Carrasco was designated for assignment.[4] Carson made his major league debut on May 18, 2012, when he pitched a scoreless inning of relief against the Toronto Blue Jays in a 14-5 Mets loss.[5]
Carson started the 2013 season with the Triple-A Las Vegas 51s, and was called up by the Mets on April 21 when Aaron Laffey was designated for assignment.[6]
