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

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,[3] but he later switched his commitment to the University of Southern California.[4]

Houston Astros

Sandoval was drafted by the Houston Astros in the 11th round of the 2015 MLB draft.[5] He signed for $900,000,[6] forgoing his commitment to USC. 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, Sandoval (along with international pool space cash) was traded to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for 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 innings pitched.[13] He returned to Mobile to begin 2019,[14] and was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees in May.

On August 5, 2019, the Angels selected Sandoval's contract and promoted him to the major leagues.[15] He made his major league debut that night versus the Cincinnati Reds, pitching five innings while allowing two runs and striking out eight.[16] On the season, Sandoval finished with a 0-4 record in 10 appearances (9 starts). He struck out 42 in 39+13 innings.
