Angels Re-Sign Shaun Anderson To Minor League Deal

By Steve Adams | May 29, 2025 at 9:50am CDT

Right-hander Shaun Anderson cleared waivers after being designated for assignment by the Angels, briefly elected free agency and quickly re-signed with the Halos on a new minor league pact, per the transaction logs at MiLB.com.

The 30-year-old Anderson pitched 10 innings for the Halos prior to his DFA and was tagged for seven runs on 14 hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts. He averaged a pedestrian 92.1 mph on his four-seamer but still notched a hearty 12.2% swinging-strike rate thanks in part to a changeup he’s incorporated into his mix at a career-high rate of usage (23.3%). Anderson entered the season with 152 MLB innings under his belt and had thrown just seven percent changeups in his career (11.5% in 2024). It’s a small sample of innings, but he was also using his changeup more frequently (albeit not to this extent) in Triple-A as well.

Anderson has seen action in parts of six major league seasons and suited up for eight different teams along the way. He’s been hit hard, yielding a 6.11 ERA with a 16.8% strikeout rate and 8.7% walk rate in 162 MLB frames overall, but teams have continued to give him looks based on a solid Triple-A track record and some appealing traits in his pitches. He’s shown good aptitude for generating spin on both his four-seamer and slider throughout his career, and the 6’6″ righty gets excellent extension on his pitches, which can help his lackluster velocity play up.

Anderson was working as a starter in Salt Lake prior to being called up by the Angels. He’d tossed 37 1/3 innings across seven starts and logged a 5.06 ERA, a 17.6% strikeout rate and a 7.6% walk rate in that time. He worked as a multi-inning reliever with the Angels and saw his pitch count climb as high as 51 in one of his appearances with the Angels, on May 11. He’ll now remain with the Halos and again serve as a versatile depth arm who could come to the majors and help in a variety of roles.

    Let’s be honest, this is the most important move this organization has made in 15 years. i come from a time when the streets stank of horrible garbage and you couldn’t use the word “goldfish” in the bathroom… thanks Cheryl. She woke up to a fat divorce the next day, I was free, and the first thing I did was go to the bathroom without any pants on.

    I guess he hasn’t mastered that kick change quite yet.

      His changeup is insanely good. It’s the rest of it that doesn’t work that well.

    Thought he was decent in his short stay, so I’m glad to see him back.

      @kellin. He was better than the eight guys before him that lasted a appearance. Stephenson looked filthy so hopefully he keeps it up.

    He’s a perfect 8th reliever. Glad we kept him.

      One bad outing can screw up a pitcher’s era.
