#47 Bryan Harvey, RHP (1987-1992)

Harvey was signed by the Angels in 1984 as an amateur free agent. In 1988, Bryan saved 17 games with a record of 7-5, and 2.13 ERA to finish second in the Rookie of the Year voting. He saved 25 games in both ’89 and ’90, while striking out batters at a rate of about 12/9 IP. In 1991, Bryan finished a LL 63 games (2nd) setting a then Angels’ record with a LL 46 saves (4th), a 1.60 ERA, and a 0.864 WHIP to make the All-Star team, win the AL Rolaids Relief Award, and finish 5th for the Cy Young Award.
Following the 1992 season, Harvey was selected by the Florida Marlins in the expansion draft. After 5+ years in Anaheim, Bryan ranks among the Angels’ career leader with:
- 126 saves (3rd)
- 214 games finished (3rd)
 With more innings pitched, he would have ranked among the All-Time leaders in ERA (2.49), WHIP (1.121), and other rate stats as well.
