Description
Jered Weaver is a former professional baseball starting pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres. Weaver was drafted in the first round (12th overall) in the 2004 Major League Baseball draft by the Angels out of Long Beach State. He was a three-time All Star, and twice led the American League in wins. He is the younger brother of former pitcher Jeff Weaver.
On July 6th, despite not having been initially selected, Weaver was chosen to replace CC Sabathia on the American League roster for the 2010 All-Star Game due to the latter’s ineligibility to pitch. He joined Torii Hunter as the only Halos representing the host club for Angel Stadium’s third Mid-Summer Classic, though he did not pitch in the game. The All-Star selection was well-deserved, as Weaver posted the best season of his short big league tenure thus far. Weaver was the major league strikeout champion with 233, besting Mariners ace Félix Hernández by a single strikeout. He also posted career-bests in innings pitched (with 224.1), ERA (3.01), and WHIP (1.07). Weaver’s success was not reflected in his win–loss record, however, as he went 13–12 due in part to poor run support. The Los Angeles Angels ace finished 5th in AL Cy Young award voting.

The authentic Majestic Jersey is a size 52 and features an awesome 2010 All-Star Game Patch on the left sleeve. Weaver has signed the back in silver.
