The Angels are looking down from heaven above as the promising 24-year-old Team Italy pitcher takes the mound in Anaheim on Friday, June 12th at 6:38 pm (Saturday, June 13th at 3:38 am in Italy) against the American League East division-leading Tampa Bay Rays. Sam Aldegheri (1-1, 12 IP, 8 K, 2.25 ERA) is optimistic that a new cutter is just what the doctor ordered to remain on the Angels’ big-league roster.
The Italian-born and developed pitcher from Verona recently added a cut fastball to his repertoire and has seen excellent results as a result. On June 2nd against the Colorado Rockies, Halos’ lefty Sam Aldegheri threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings (4 H, 2 BB, 5 K) in relief of starter Grayson Rodriguez.
