When the Los Angeles Angels were looking for bullpen help going into their series against the defending World Champion Houston Astros, they went searching in unlikeliest of places: The Double-A Mobile Bay Bears. The Angels saw a young Texas right-hander who was pitching lights out for the first time in his minor league career. That right-hander was Justin Anderson.
Anderson came into the 2018 season with a career ERA of almost 5 (4.91) and a WHIP of 1.57. However in 2018 Anderson was lights out pitching 8.2 innings between Mobile and Triple-A Salt Lake CIty only allowing two hits and no runs with 14 strikeouts.
