The twenty-five year old righty from Panama City, Jaime Barría pitched for the Angels for the fourth consecutive season in 2021. He initially signed with the Angels for $60,000 as an international free agent back in 2013. He started the year in the bullpen and made two relief appearances before becoming a mainstay in the rotation. Barría had an up and down 2021 campaign that ended abruptly with a shoulder injury.
He was recalled from the Angels Alternate Training Site on April 10th before being optioned two days back two days later and for the rest of the season pitched with the Major League club while being optioned three times to and from the AAA Salt Lake Bees.
