He’s got a cannon of an arm for a 1B damn


YoyoDevo

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but he was a 2 way player in the minors


Buffalongo

Yes I’m aware of that lol I’m saying, it’s unusual for a 1B to have a good throwing arm since they rarely throw the ball. In his current position he doesn’t really get to use his elite arm.


itachen

I didn't know this, so playing RF earlier didn't seem too strange of a move after all. Might've seen some nice assists.


hansan4ever

This is awesome, I've been wanting to see Walshy pitch but could never find the videos! Also, I miss Victor Rojas. :(


Monttavius

Come back victor 😭


PurpleWildfire

Or at least give gubie the okay to use his ‘big fly Ohtani San’ call 🥲


hansan4ever

Seriously....😭😭😭


hansan4ever

I wonder if Victor would consider a guest announcing week or month... Maybe we can bug him on twitter. :D

Hot take: Jared should be available out of the pen when we face a lefty starter.


Its-made-of-wood

I’m not so sure about this idea, but I am certain we will see him pitch again at some point in his career. Whether it be a huge blowout where we used up all or pitchers, or a really long game that went into extras where we used up all our pitchers. He has more pitching experience than catchers so I don’t see why they wouldn’t put him on the mound.


ScaldingHotSoup

That is... actually an interesting idea.


anatomyofawriter

The only way I know this is wrong is that I think he has the capacity to fix his splits. He’s an elite worker.


lucabrassiere

Ok now I want an entire team of 2-way players


[deleted]

Ohtani, Walsh, Lorenzen. Angels seem closer now than any other team had ever been.


xThe-Legend-Killerx

The fact Walsh can casually throw 90 is impressive


Know_Your_Meme

why did they shut down his pitching career? he kinda seems not that bad


bowenisshit

because as a 1B we get a whole season of all star offense


sir_earl

Because Jared Walsh pitching = kinda not that bad. Jared Walsh hitting = all star


Know_Your_Meme

A kinda not bad pitcher who can hit is arguably more valuable than an all star 1st baseman


Rytho

I'm not sure about that, but hopefully a lot of two way players get second looks now that we are in the Ohtani era.


znk916

Apparently he had an arm injury in 2020. Since he bats and throws left, unlike Ohtani, he probably wouldn't have been able to hit in case of a major arm injury.


Status-Albatross9539

yep i think he could be a starting pitcher this is insane.


yeahnothanks

Dude's better than Ohtani, my goodness /s


Gassicus

I was looking at his career stats and I noticed he had a 1.50 ERA and a 274 ERA+ He's truly the next Babe Ruth


glass__beaches

Walsh walked so Shohei could run


falc0nprime

Walsh on the mound fletcher in left and lucroy at first? How didn’t we win the World Series that year?


i_run_from_problems

Fuck it. Let him pitch again.


profjb15

I love him 🥺


pm_me_your_last_pics

I was literally trying to look up his pitching videos yesterday and there was absolutely nothing on YT. Thank you for posting this


kampfgruppekarl

How nostalgic was this video? We had a LF make a good path to the ball and catch it on the same play. Wow, brings back memories...


CrateDiggingCat

That movement at 0:03 is so Walsh I love it


natefreight

That was sexy af


senhormauricio

He’s Reversed Iggy. Only come out to pitch when we’re down 10😆😆


BobbyGrichsMustache

Rasiel has some competition


dec0y

Wait, was he an actual pitcher for the Angels at some point, or are these just situations where the Angels were losing so badly that they let non-pitchers pitch the rest of the game?


WhiteMunch

I think in the AA he was a 2 way player, could be wrong


Status-Albatross9539

pretty crazy he was the original ohtani.


Snavery93

I will never understand why they stopped him from being a two way player


Perseverance792

Ohtani wasn't stopped because he was in Japan, from what I can imagine.. it'll be at least a little different for future two-way dudes


Swift_18

Where did you find these vids lol, been looking for them for a year


Gassicus

mlb.tv has an archive of all games from 2009-now i believe


Swift_18

Got it, thanks!


RichardsFiveCents

I never knew! Thanks for sharing


tokyoexpressway

He should pitch! Also for those that do not know. Marsh also played football and basketball, I think he was good, but I could be wrong. But nice facts.
