Jered Weaver

Jered Weaver is one of the best pitchers. We now look at his overpowering profile.

Jered Weaver has always been a great player who plays for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. He has led the league in different pitching categories multiple times. Jered Weaver isn’t really a dominant strikeout pitcher like Clayton Kershaw or Felix Hernandez. But surprisingly he led the league in K’s in 2010. He led the league by getting only one more strikeout then the second place rival Felix Hernandez. That season he would go 13-12 with the league leading 233 strikeouts. From that point on Weaver would also tie the league leader in wins. He would tie the lead league in wins with 20 wins. Jered Weaver would also help bring his team to the postseason in 2014. He couldn’t have done this without the legendary Mike Trout. Weaver is also a regular starting pitcher at the all-star game. As you can see, Jered is one of the best pitchers in the game. The Angels would have trouble controlling their success without their ace.
