Injuries aside, the Angels have built up a young pitching staff over the past 8 years (mostly since 2013). Including Jaime Barria - who should debut some time in 2018, and Nate Smith - who’d already have debuted if not for bad luck with injuries, the Angels have 12 MLB ready starting pitchers and their average age is ONLY 26.5. That average would drop to 26 years old if you didn’t count the oldest pitcher on the staff - Matt Shoemaker who is a mere 31.
