The Book on Jose Arredondo

Prospect Info


LAAJose Arredondo
Born 3/30/1984
RHP, LAA

A hard thrower converted from third base, Arredondo could see some work in the Angels bullpen before the year is over. He's got a monster 98mph fastball and a nasty splitter, but no real pitching smarts. He could get by as an eighth inning guy on stuff alone, but it'll be two or three more years before he has a chance to be a real, well-rounded pitcher.

Player Updates and Notes

The Angels are calling up hard-throwing Jose Arredondo this weekend, as they look to find a fresh arm for their bullpen. Scot Shields has been less than his reliably self so far this year, so the bridges to closer Franky Rodriguez have been shaky ones indeed.
