The Angels selected him in the sixth round of the 2007 Major League Baseball draft.[1] From 2007 through 2013, Brasier pitched for various Angels farm teams, starting with the Rookie League Orem Owlz and reaching the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. He made a career-high 55 appearances (all in relief) with the Bees in 2012, recording 13 saves along with a 7–3 record, 54 strikeouts, and 24 walks in ​59 2⁄3 innings pitched.

The Angels promoted Brasier to the major leagues for the first time on May 1, 2013.[2] He made his MLB debut the next day, pitching an inning of relief against the Baltimore Orioles, allowing two runs on two hits.[3] After making one additional appearance in May, he returned to the minors and was recalled in September when the major league rosters expanded; he made five appearances during the month. Overall, with the 2013 Angels, Brasier made seven appearances, striking out seven and walking four in nine innings pitched with a 2.00 ERA.[4] Brasier was outrighted off of the Angels 40-man roster on October 28, 2014.[5]
