Ángel Miguel Rondón (born December 1, 1997) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the San Francisco Giants of Major League Baseball (MLB). Rondón signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an international free agent in 2016. He made his MLB debut with the Cardinals in 2021.

Professional career

St. Louis Cardinals

Rondón signed with the St. Louis Cardinals as an international free agent on January 6, 2016.[1] He made his professional debut that year with the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League Cardinals, going 2–2 with a 2.79 ERA over 42 innings.

In 2017, he played with the Dominican League Cardinals, the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Cardinals, and the Johnson City Cardinals of the Rookie-level Appalachian League, going a combined 3–4 with a 3.14 ERA over 14 games (11 starts) between the three clubs. He spent 2018 with the State College Spikes of the Class A Short Season New York–Penn League and the Peoria Chiefs of the Class A Midwest League, posting a 3–6 record and a 3.17 ERA over 15 starts with both teams, striking out eighty batters over 88 innings, and 2019 with the Palm Beach Cardinals of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League (where he was named an All-Star)[2] and the Springfield Cardinals of the Class AA Texas League, pitching to an 11–7 record, a 2.93 ERA, and 159 strikeouts over 160 innings and 28 starts with both clubs.[3] Following the season, the Cardinals named Rondón their Minor League Pitcher of the Year.[4]

Rondón did not play a minor league game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. After the 2020 season, the Cardinals added him to their 40-man roster.[5] To begin the 2021 season, he was assigned to the Memphis Redbirds of the Triple-A East League. On June 5, 2021, Rondón was promoted to the major leagues for the first time.[6] He made his MLB debut the next day, pitching a scoreless inning of relief against the Cincinnati Reds. In the game, he also recorded his first major league strikeout, against Jonathan India.[7] On July 8, 2022, the Cardinals designated him for assignment.

San Francisco Giants

On July 13, 2022, the San Francisco Giants acquired him off waivers from the Cardinals.
