MARK LANGSTON radio color analyst

Mark Langston enters his eighth full season on the Angels broadcast team after joining Terry
Smith on the air as an analyst on a part-time basis during the 2012 regular season. During the 2019
season, Langston announced two games for the “MLB Game of the Week Live on YouTube” on July
29th (Angels vs Detroit) and September 10th (Angels vs Cleveland).
Langston pitched 16 seasons at the Major League level, including eight with the Angels. He was
originally drafted by Seattle in the 1981 draft and pitched for the Mariners (1984-89) and Montreal
Expos (1989) before joining the Angels prior to the 1990 season. On Apr. 11, 1990 Langston and
Mike Witt combined to pitch the eighth no-hitter in Angels history and the first combined no-hitter in club history. He
pitched to an 88-74 record with a 3.97 ERA in his eight seasons with the Angels before finishing his career with the San
Diego Padres (1998) and Cleveland Indians (1999). A four-time All-Star, Langston also won seven Gold Glove Awards,
including five straight from 1991-95 with the Angels.
After retiring, Langston became the head baseball coach at Orange Lutheran High School where he guided the Lancers
to a playoff berth in 2002. In Nov. 2018, Langston was inducted into the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame.
