UCSB alumnus Greg Mahle pitching for a spot in Los Angeles Angels pen

The Los Angeles Angels brought in a couple of left-handed specialists for Spring Training hoping to find someone to complement Jose Alvarez in the Angels bullpen.

One of them Christian Friedrich lasted all of three days and never threw a pitch for the Angels due to injury concerns. The other Rob Rasmussen has been less than stellar this Spring going 0-1 with a 6.75 ERA in four innings pitched and a 2.00 WHIP. They overlooked a diamond in the rough in their own farm system.

Lefty Greg Mahle who has been in the Los Angeles Angels farm system since being drafted out of UCSB (Santa Barbara) in the 15th round by the Angels in 2014.
