Early life
Delcarmen is a native of the Hyde Park section of Boston, Massachusetts and a graduate of West Roxbury High School.
Boston Red Sox
Delcarmen was a second-round draft pick by Boston in 2000; he was the first draftee from a Boston public high school in 34 years, and made his debut with the Red Sox on July 27, 2005.
Beginning the season at Double-A Portland, he posted a 4-4 record with three saves and a 3.23 ERA in 31 games. After a promotion to Triple-A Pawtucket, he struck out 12 with a 3.00 ERA over nine innings.
In 2005, Delcarmen was called up to the major leagues for 10 games. He pitched 9 innings with a 3.00 ERA and 9 strikeouts.
After starting the 2006 season in Pawtucket, Delcarmen was recalled to the major leagues on April 22, 2006. On June 11, Delcarmen got his first major league win, pitching two innings against the Texas Rangers.

He finished the 2007 season with 44 innings in the majors and a 2.05 ERA. In the 2007 playoffs he had 4 1/3 IP, and allowed 4 earned runs and was part of the 2007 World Champions.
After an intensive offseason workout regimen, Delcarmen lost 15 pounds. Manager Terry Francona remarked that "he’s lean and he’s looking really good."

Scouting report
His career was on the fast track with a mid 90s fastball, and a great curveball - until he injured himself in May 2003. Delcarmen had Tommy John surgery, but returned to the mound in May 2004. Post-surgery, Delcarmen's fastball may have actually gained velocity, as he topped out in the high 90s. Delcarmen has decent control, with a decent changeup and a very good curve which he uses as his out pitch.
