Career

Los Angeles Angels

The Angels selected Jewell in the fifth round of the 2014 MLB draft.[1] He signed and spent 2015 with both the Arizona League Angels and the Orem Owlz, posting a 1–2 record and 3.59 ERA in 12 games (nine starts) over 42.2 innings between the two teams.[2]

In 2015, he played for the Burlington Bees in the Class A Midwest League where he compiled a 6–8 record and 4.77 ERA in ​111 1⁄3 innings pitched.[2] Baseball America named him the Angels #5 prospect entering 2016 season.[3] In 2016, he played for the Inland Empire 66ers of the Class A-Advanced California League, pitching to a 2–15 record, 6.31 ERA, and 1.87 WHIP in 28 games (27 starts) over 137 innings.[2]

Jewell began 2017 back with the 66ers, and after posting a 2.25 ERA in his first three starts, was promoted to the Mobile BayBears of the Class AA Southern League, where he finished the season, going 7–8 with a 4.84 ERA in 24 games (23 starts).[4] After the 2017 season, the Angels added Jewell to their 40-man roster.[5]

He began the 2018 season with the BayBears, and after seven games was promoted to the Salt Lake Bees of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League, with whom he was 2-4 with a 3.60 ERA in 25 innings.[6][7]

The Angels promoted Jewell to the major leagues on June 15.[8] He made his major league debut the next day against the Oakland Athletics at Oakland Coliseum, pitching a scoreless eighth inning in which he earned his first major league strikeout against Franklin Barreto.[9] During Jewell's third MLB game, on June 27 against the Boston Red Sox, he left the game after an apparent ankle injury suffered while trying to make a play at the plate.[10] The following day, the Angels placed Jewell on the disabled list due to a right fibula fracture, requiring season-ending surgery.[11][12] For the season with the Angels, he pitched 2 innings and was 0-1.[13]

In 2019 with Salt Lake he was 4-4 with 8 saves and a 5.26 ERA in 37.2 innings, and with the Angels he was 0-0 with a 6.84 ERA in 26.1 innings.[2]
