The thirty-five year old righty spent his first year with the Angels this year after being traded to the team on March 29, 2021 from the Marlins for cash. He spent the year mostly with the AAA Salt Lake Bees and bounced between the major league club and them for nine games of playing time.
His numbers in the minors saw him finishing the year with a 9.42 ERA in 35.1 innings pitched and 33 games. He had a 1-2 record, 36 strikeouts, and a 2.01 WHIP. Nearly all of Hoyt’s major league struggles this season were on the road and the contrast between his performances was quite stark.
