Cam Bedrosian

Cameron Rock Bedrosian (born October 2, 1991) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels, Cincinnati Reds, Oakland Athletics, and Philadelphia Phillies. The Angels selected Bedrosian in the first round of the 2010 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2014. He is the son of MLB Cy Young Award winning pitcher Steve Bedrosian.

Bedrosian was born on October 2, 1991, the youngest of four sons born to Steve and Tammy Bedrosian. He grew up on a horse and wheat farm in Senoia, Georgia, operated by his father, a former professional baseball pitcher who spent 14 years in Major League Baseball (MLB) and won the Cy Young Award in 1987.

Bedrosian attended East Coweta High School in Sharpsburg, Georgia. He was named an All-American. He committed to attend Louisiana State University (LSU) on a baseball scholarship to play for the LSU Tigers.

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim selected Bedrosian in the first round, 29th overall, of the 2010 MLB draft, and he signed with the organization that summer for a bonus of $1.116 million. Bedrosian had previously committed to play college baseball for the LSU Tigers, but turned down an athletic scholarship in favor of beginning his professional baseball career. He was assigned to the Rookie-level Arizona League Angels, with whom Bedrosian had a 0-2 win–loss record and a 4.50 earned run average (ERA) in five games (four starts). He also struck out 10 batters in 12 innings pitched.

Bedrosian was invited to spring training in 2011, but during his first spring inning, his fastball velocity suddenly dropped from 92 to 85 mph (148 to 137 km/h). He was diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his forearm, and underwent Tommy John Surgery on April 29. The recovery period for such a surgery prevented Bedrosian from pitching until May 1, 2012, when he joined the Low-A Cedar Rapids Kernels to pitch 4+13 no-hit innings.

In 2012, Bedrosian pitched for the Cedar Rapids Kernels of the Single–A Midwest League. He began the 2013 season with the Burlington Bees of the Midwest League, and was promoted to the Inland Empire 66ers of the High–A California League in August.

After starting the 2014 season with Inland Empire with 15 strikeouts in his first 20 batters faced, the Angels promoted him to the Arkansas Travelers of the Double–A Texas League in April. Bedrosian pitched to a 1.47 earned run average with 30 strikeouts in 18+13 innings, before the Angels promoted him to the major leagues on June 3.

In 2015 with the Angels he was 1–0 with a 5.40 ERA, and 9.2 strikeouts per nine innings.
