Michael Lorenzen, now with the Texas Rangers, is determined to showcase his abilities after his time with the Los Angeles Angels.
Michael Lorenzen is out to prove himself. The former Los Angeles Angels pitcher and current member of the Texas Rangers said his free-agent experience motivated him, leaving him with a definite chip on his shoulder.on Monday, Lorenzen said he was “pretty frustrated, for sure” by the tepid interest he generated on the open market.
Lorenzen has channeled his energy into a positive force for a Rangers rotation that has been without Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer and Tyler Mahle all season, and Nathan Eovaldi and Jon Gray for part of it. Lorenzen has a 3.05 ERA in 10 starts and will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in his next start on Thursday. Credit an assist to the Angels' grounds crew for his productive season.
Lorenzen told Rosenthal he had the Angels grounds crew build major-league quality mounds in his backyard in Orange County. He also asked Kyle Boddy, the founder of Driveline Baseball, to help him build a lab in his backyard. It isn't clear when the mounds were erected; the Orange County native played for the Angels in 2022, his first full season as a starter. Perhaps that's when the extracurricular work was done. Lorenzen signed a free agent contract with the Detroit Tigers in Dec. 2022.Clearly, though, the gift from the Angels has paid dividends beyond Lorenzen's time with the organization.
