Aaron Loup is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played in MLB for the Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, and New York Mets.
In 2013, Loup threw one and a third innings on Opening Day, and then went on to win his first game in the major leagues on April 10 against the Detroit Tigers.
On April 12 and June 2, he collected his first two saves in the major leagues, and on June 8, after a pair of groundouts, he pitched the Blue Jays to victory in an 18-inning game to give them their first win of the season.
The advice that Loup’s instructors gave him to pitch sidearm resulted in a significant improvement in the southpaw’s overall performance.
It has been pointed out that his fastball is particularly good against both left-handed and right-handed batters, but he still has a hard time changing speeds effectively.
John Gibbons, the manager of the team, does not consider Loup to be a long reliever but rather a situational, one-inning type. He has a reputation for having a “relaxed” disposition, which has become even more pronounced since he has spent more time with his colleagues.
