ESPN baseball reporter. Covered the L.A. Rams for ESPN from 2016 to 2018 and the L.A. Angels for MLB.com from 2012 to 2016.had made 423 regular-season starts and recorded at least one strikeout in every one of them, a stretch that began with his introduction to the major leagues, extended through his run as the sport's most dominant pitcher and persisted amid continual injury.
