WILD THINGS SIGN ANGEL LANDAZURI AFTER ACQUISITION IN TRADE
The Washington Wild Things have announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Angel Landazuri, who was one of the players to be named in the Sandro Cabrera deal that sent the lefty to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. The other player has not been named yet.
Wild Things' manager Tom Vaeth observed Landazuri during the California Winter League this January and February. Landazuri made five starts for the Palm Springs Power, striking out 35 batters in 23 innings while only walking one batter, allowing only 11 hits, and only one run to score while posting a 3-0 record and 0.30 ERA. He led the CWL in ERA among starting pitchers and had the best strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Landazuri played in the American Association in 2022 and started nine of the 10 games he appeared in. In 45.2 innings, he walked 15 and fanned 25. He was in the Mexican League from 2018-2019 and logged 120.2 innings in 51 games (19 starts).
The California native played his college ball at UC Riverside, where he was 13-16 with a 4.17 ERA in 59 games, 26 of which were starts. In 215.2 innings in college, he walked only 48 and struck out 153.
He was a four-year letter winner at Redlands High School and helped his team to league titles in 2011 and 2013. Landazuri was First Team All-League three times and an All-American as a senior in 2013.
