The case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Weaver

Jered Weaver has been a starting pitcher for as long as he can remember. A standout at local Cal State Long Beach, Weaver was drafted by the Los Angeles Angels in the first round with the 12th overall pick in 2004. Weaver blew through the minor leagues and made his debut May 27th, 2006 at just 23 years old.

Ten years later at 33 years old, Weaver is at the end of his contract and could be at the end of his career. His fastball tops out at 84-86 mile per hour. Well below the major league average.
