After graduation, Carlucci passed up offers from major league scouts to accept a baseball scholarship to the University of Iowa.

His career included seasons with Baltimore, Cincinnati, Toronto and the Phillies, in addition to the Yankees. He also played winter ball in Puerto Rico where he was named to the Puerto Rican League All-Star Team.
