Los Angeles Angels Cam Bedrosian finding consistency

Los Angeles Angels Cam Bedrosian has struggled in The Show for parts of his first two Big League seasons. Bedrosian seems to have figured it out  this season for an Angels bullpen that needs him.

The Los Angeles Angels have needed plenty of help this season, and they’ll take some wherever they can find it.

The team has stumbled to a 22-28 start and injuries have piled up, taking players on all aspects of the depth chart — and the bullpen was no exception.

Luckily for the Angels, Cam Bedrosian is one of the members of the bullpen that seems to have settled in after two full months of a long summer season.

Cam Bedrosian Player Grade: B+

The 24-year-old right-hander has pitched in 18 games this year, compiling a 1-0 record with a 1.10 ERA and 18 strikeouts.

His ERA is the lowest of any pitcher on the team.

What’s especially impressive is watching how comfortable he looks on the  mound after struggling in his first two seasons with the Halos.

In 2014, Bedrosian made his Big League debut with the club and in 17 games had a 6.52 ERA paired with 12 walks. Last year, his numbers improved a bit as he pitched in twice as many games and lowered his ERA to 5.40, but still allowed a 19 base on balls and gave up 40 hits in just 33.1 innings of work.

This year, Bedrosian has everything clicking and looks like the type of player the Angels hoped he would be when they spent a first-round pick on him back in the 2010 Draft.

His control seems to be playing the most important role in his success. In 16.1 innings of work this season, Bedrosian has struck out 18 and only walked five hitters, three of which came in April. In the month of May, his strikeout/walk ratio is 14/2.

The only issue he seems to be having is forcing himself to work out of difficult situations, which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.

In his 16.1 innings of work in 2016, he’s allowed 17 hits and left-handed hitters are hitting .300 against him. That being said, he seems to be figuring out how to work his way out of jams as he’s only allowed two earned runs this season.

Bedrosian also has an interesting stat in his split-sheet — he actually seems to be pitching better on the road than he does at the Big A.

In six innings away from home, he’s allowed just four hits and an earned run, punching out 11 while walking a pair.

In 10.1 innings in Anaheim, he’s given up 13 hits and an earned run, struck out seven and walked three.

The Angels should be getting Huston Street back as their closer at the back end of the bullpen, but it’s been comforting to see Bedrosian, who usually makes Angels fans nervous on the mound, settling in in close games.

He has the potential to be a Grade A player by the end of the season, but could also fall off the tracks and fall to Grade C. The Halos will be hoping for the former.
