Rafael Carmona 

Baseball
Induction Year: 2023

One of the most accomplished professional alums in Indian Hills history, Carmona used a remarkable season in Centerville as a springboard to Major League Baseball. As a member of the then-Falcons baseball program, Carmona posted a 2-0 record with 13 saves in 1993 to help the program reach the JUCO World Series. Carmona's 13 saves are the second-most in a single season in school history.

Following his time at Indian Hills, Carmona was selected in the 13th round of the 1993 MLB Amateur Draft by the Seattle Mariners and made his big league debut on May 18, 1995. Carmona made 81 appearances throughout his career, earning 11 victories to go along with 17 wins in the minor leagues with 33 saves.

Following his playing career, Carmona spent time coaching in his native Puerto Rico, including stints with the Puerto Rican National Baseball Team before passing away in 2021 at the age of 48.

Carmona becomes the 15th member of the Indian Hills Baseball program inducted into the Indian Hills Hall of Fame.
