#34 Jarrod Washburn, LHP (1998-2005)

Jarrod was drafted by the Angels in the 2^nd round of the 1995 amateur draft, and made his debut in 1998. In 2000, Jarrod went 7-2 (a .778 W/L%) with a 3.74 ERA in only 14 starts. By 2002, Jarrod was the Angels’ ace. That year he won a single season team record 12 decisions in a row, posted an 18-6 record for a .750 W/L% (T8th), a 3.15 ERA, and a 1.175 WHIP to finish 4^th in the Cy Young Award voting. He pitched well in the playoffs, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA, before running out of gas in the World Series. His 5 postseason starts are T2nd all-time (single postseason). The highlight of his career was probably beating the Yankees 9-5 in Game 4 of the 2002 ALDS to clinch the Angels’ first ever postseason series win. Jarrod was also an integral part of the Angels’ starting rotation for both the ’04 and ’05 AL West champions. On 4/29/04, Jarrod became the only Angel to ever record a 3-pitch inning.
