Sandoval will start for Mexico against Team USA in the World Baseball Classic on March 11 and is line to start the Angels’ home opener April 7
TEMPE, Ariz. — Benji Gil, who is the manager of Team Mexico and the Angels’ infield coach, had a simple explanation for why he picked Patrick Sandoval to start Mexico’s matchup against Team USA in the World Baseball Classic.
Dodgers ace Julio Urías, Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Taijuan Walker and Houston Astros righty José Urquidy are also in Mexico’s rotation. Mexico is the favorite to join the USA in advancing from the five-team pool in Arizona. Urías would be in line to pitch the quarterfinal March 17 or 18 in Miami, and then Sandoval could pitch the semifinal March 19 or 20.
Angels manager Phil Nevin also revealed that he has Sandoval scheduled to start the second game of the season – after Shohei Ohtani pitches the opener – and that would also line up Sandoval to pitch the Angels’ home opener April 7 against the Toronto Blue Jays. “I think last year his great season kind of went under the radar,” Gil said. “Obviously, this won’t make up for all of it. And it’s a pitch limit, so they’ll only see three or four innings, but if they see four innings of really good pitching against basically an All-Star team, and even more intensity than an All-Star Game, a more meaningful game, then it’ll come to light how good he really is.
Estévez throws a 98 mph fastball, and his slider was a much better swing-and-miss pitch on the road than at home. Estévez said he still doesn’t have the feel yet for the slider, in addition to trying to get a hang of fastballs up in the zone.“With the way that the game has changed and stuff like that, I would like to try it,” Estévez said. “It’s not I’m not gonna do that because I’ve been doing this for years.
