2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sandoval was healthy all year but only totaled 148.2 innings as the Angels rolled with a six-man rotation. The team was also cautious with Sandoval specifically, allowing him to throw 100-plus pitches four times in 27 starts. Sandoval is a unique pitcher not just because he throws lefty but because he throws his slider and changeup as his two primary pitches -- at least he did in 2022. The slider held up under heavier usage and the change was a good swing-and-miss pitch for him with a 44.5 Whiff%, according to Statcast. His four-seamer got knocked around to the tune of a .372 average and 14 extra-base hits, so things can go awry when he gets behind in the count and has to throw the fastball over the plate. Throwing so much breaking and offspeed stuff results in a good number of groundballs, and when combined with the strikeouts, Sandoval is an exciting arm for fantasy purposes. That said, don't expect many two-start weeks and don't expect him to approach 200 innings. Read Past Outlooks
Starting in WBC semifinal
Sandoval will start for Mexico in Monday's WBC semifinal game against Japan, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sandoval will get a big spring test against a loaded Japanese lineup that will include Angels teammate Shohei Ohtani. This will be Sandoval's second start in the WBC -- in his first outing, he allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters in three innings against Team USA, who Mexico will face in the final if able to advance. The southpaw also got into two Cactus League games with the Angels prior to the WBC, allowing one run on three hits and posting a 6:0 K:BB over five frames.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Sandoval began the season toiling for Triple-A Salt Lake but was called up before their season commenced. Initially, Sandoval was a swingman, but it wasn't long before he entered the rotation full time. His season ended prematurely in mid-August with a left lumbar stress reaction. Granted, it was only a 36.2 inning sample from the previous campaign, but Sandoval exhibited significant improvement, best exemplified by a 15.2% swinging strike mark supporting a 26% K%. Sandoval's walk rate could use some work as demonstrated by a 9.9% BB%. Just 25 years old, Sandoval has time to hone his five-pitch mix to improve control. If successful, front end of the rotation status awaits. Short term, keep in mind the Angels could deploy a six-man rotation, but if healthy, Sandoval still merits a spot on a mixed league roster.
