Patrick Jordan Sandoval (born October 18, 1996) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB).

Amateur career

Sandoval attended and played baseball at Mission Viejo High School in Mission Viejo, California.[1] As a senior, he was 9–3 with a 0.97 ERA.[2] He had originally committed to play college baseball at Vanderbilt University, but later switched his commitment to the University of Southern California.[3][4]

Professional career

Houston Astros organization

Sandoval was selected by the Houston Astros in the 11th round of the 2015 Major League Baseball draft.[5] He signed for $900,000, forgoing his commitment to USC.[6] After signing, he made his professional debut that season with the Gulf Coast League Astros where he was 0–3 with a 6.08 ERA in six starts. In 2016, he played for the Greeneville Astros[7] where he pitched to a 2–3 record and 5.30 ERA in 13 games (eight starts), and in 2017, he pitched for the Buies Creek Astros, Tri-City ValleyCats, and the Quad Cities River Bandits[8] where he compiled a combined 3–4 record and 4.09 ERA in 14 games (11 starts) between the three teams.[9] Sandoval began the 2018 season with Quad Cities and was named the starting pitcher for the Midwest League All-Star Game.[10] He was promoted to Buies Creek in late June.[11]

Los Angeles Angels

On July 26, 2018, the Astros traded Sandoval and international pool space cash to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for catcher Martín Maldonado.[12] He was assigned to the Inland Empire 66ers and promoted to the Mobile BayBears in August. In 26 games (20 starts) between Quad Cities, Buies Creek, Inland Empire and Mobile, he was 11–1 with a 2.06 ERA, striking out 145 batters in 122+1⁄3 innings pitched.[13] He returned to Mobile to begin 2019,[14] and was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees in May after compiling a 0–3 record with a 3.60 ERA over twenty innings.[15]

On August 5, 2019, the Angels selected Sandoval's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[16] At the time of his promotion, he owned a 6.41 ERA over 60+1⁄3 innings with Salt Lake.[17] He made his major league debut that night versus the Cincinnati Reds, pitching five innings behind opener Taylor Cole while allowing two runs and striking out eight.[18] On the season with the Angels, Sandoval finished with a 0–4 record and a 5.03 ERA over ten appearances (nine starts), striking out 42 in 39+1⁄3 innings.[19] In 2020, he became a member of the team's starting rotation, going 1-5 with a 5.65 ERA over nine games (six starts).[20]

Sandoval began the 2021 season as a reliever but was added to the starting rotation in late May when José Quintana was placed on the injured list.[21] On July 14, 2021, in a start against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field, Sandoval carried a no-hit bid into the 9th inning before giving up a double to Brent Rooker on the final out of the game. Angels manager Joe Maddon then pulled Sandoval from the game for closer Raisel Iglesias, who allowed Sandoval's baserunner to score before securing the 2–1 win. Sandoval finished the game with 8+2⁄3 innings pitched, 1 hit, 1 earned run, 1 walk, and 13 strikeouts.[22] Sandoval enjoyed a breakout season before being placed on the 60-day injured list to a lower back stress fracture that ended his season.[23] Over 14 starts prior to the injury, he went 3–6 with a 3.62 ERA with 94 strikeouts in 87 innings.[24]

Sandoval began the 2022 season as a member of the Angels' starting rotation. He was originally slated to be second in the rotation and make his first start of the year against the Astros on April 8, but he was scratched due to fatigue.[25] He made his season debut on April 12, pitching 4 innings against the Miami Marlins while not giving up any earned runs but dealing with pitch command issues.[26] Sandoval did not allow an earned run through his first three starts of the season.[27]
