Both subpar talent and subpar results were achieved on the mound in 2019, as the Angels struggled to a league-worst 3.3 fWAR from their starting rotation. The Halos’ entire pitching corps recorded abysmal marks in ERA (5.12), FIP (5.04), and HR/9 (1.67). It was not a good season on the pitching side, though one should note that signings Matt Harvey, Trevor Cahill, and Cody Allen were shaky from the start.
