Biographical Information

Erubiel Armenta has pitched in the minors and for the Mexican national team.

He was signed by Philadelphia Phillies scouts Oneri Fleita and Charlie Gastelum in 2019. The 2020 minor league season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. He made his pro debut in winter ball, going 0-2 with a 2.45 ERA in 13 games for the Cañeros de Los Mochis in 2020-2021. He walked 10 in 14 2/3 but allowed only seven hits. In 2021, he made his minor league debut, appearing for the Clearwater Threshers (2-0, Sv, 0 R, 17 K in 6 2/3 IP), Jersey Shore BlueClaws (2 Sv, 3.14 in 11 G, 30 K in 14 1/3 IP) and Reading Fightin Phils (1-0, 0 R in 2 IP) with an impressive 49 K in 23 IP overall. He struck out at least one batter a game, fanning 47.1% of those he faced.

In 2022, the Tijuana native pitched for Jersey Shore, going 3-2 with a save and a 3.60 ERA. He allowed a .161 average. He tied Andrew Baker and Spencer Mraz for 7th in the South Atlantic League with 40 appearances. After a strong winter with Los Mochis (1-0, 0.87 ERA, 4 H, 15 K in 10 1/3 IP), he made Mexico's roster for the 2023 World Baseball Classic. He appeared once in pool competition, against Great Britain. He relieved Taijuan Walker in the fifth, trying to protect a 1-0 lead. He got D'Shawn Knowles on a fly, walked Darnell Sweeney but picked him off, then walked Jaden Rudd. Manny Barreda succeeded him and ended the inning.
