2021 Angels Player Review: Patrick Sandoval
When the Angels were assembling their pitching staff for the 2021 season, one of the guys that appeared to be on the outside looking in was Patrick Sandoval.
After being acquired in the 2018 trade deadline deal that sent Martin Maldonado to the Astros, Sandoval showed flashes of potential during his brief stints in the majors in both 2019 and 2020, but those flashes never managed to manifest into much success at the highest level. He made 19 appearances during that span but struggled to the tune of a 5.33 ERA and 5.23 FIP, leaving many to wonder what exactly his role would be in 2021.
