Over eleven seasons with the Halos, Jered Weaver placed his name high on many of the franchise’s all-time leaders lists: he is second in career wins to Chuck Finley with 150; he is third in strikeouts; and he has accumulated the fourth highest Wins Above Replacement (WAR) as a pitcher.
Weaver has been a key figure for many of the franchise’s most memorable moments over the past two decades. He started on seven Opening Days. He was on the mound when the Angels won their 4,000th game as a franchise. On May 2, 2012, he became the sixth Angels starter to pitch a no-hitter, which, technically, was his second such involvement in the rare feat, having combined for a no-hitter with Jose Arredondo in 2008.
