Biographical Information

Fabián Anguamea has pitched as high as AAA and in the Olympics.

He debuted with the Diablos Rojos del México in 2013, posting a 5.73 ERA and 2.09 WHIP in ten outings as a teenager. In 2014, he had a 6.92 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in eight games. He was 3-0 with a 3.58 ERA in 2015, showing steady progress, cutting his WHIP to 1.25 but fell to 0-1, 5.70 in 2016. In 2017, he went 5-2 with a 4.29 ERA.

Making his winter league debut with his hometown Yaquis de Obregón, he was 1-1 with a 4.38 ERA. Mexico went to a two-season format for one year, 2018. He was 2-1 with a save and a 2.38 ERA in the spring season, allowing only 23 hits in 34 innings. In the fall, he had a 1-2, 4.81 record but struck out 26 in 24 1/3 IP.

That winter, he was 3-2 with a 2.16 ERA and .89 WHIP for the Yaquis, fanning 51 in 41 2/3 innings. He tied Andrés Ávila and Tomas Solis for 3rd in the Mexican Pacific League with 35 appearances. Reinforcing the Charros de Jalisco for the 2019 Caribbean Series, he retired the only batter he faced, Juan Apodaca. In the summer of 2019, he slumped with the Diablos Rojos (1-1, 6.18 ERA, 2.14 WHIP, 28 K in 39 1/3 IP).

He rebounded somewhat that winter (4-1, Sv, 4.20 in 32 G). The 2020 minor league season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic. He split 2020-2021 between the Yaquis (3-0, 1.76) and the Mayos de Navojoa (2-0, 4.11). He tied for 7th in the LMP in wins. He allowed ten runs in nine innings for the 2021 Diablos Rojos. He was then traded to the Tigres de Quintana Roo with Octavio Acosta and Carlos De Leon in return for Luis Ivan Rodriguez. He turned things around, allowing one run in his first 16 innings there.

Anguamea was a late addition to Mexico's team for the 2020 Olympics (held in 2021 due to the pandemic-related delays), as he and Édgar Arredondo replaced Sammy Solís and Héctor Velázquez after those two came down with COVID. He made one appearance, relieving Manny Bañuelos in the 7th with a 6-2 deficit, one on and two out. He retired Yuki Yanagita to end the inning. In the 8th, he got Ryosuke Kikuchi and Munetaka Murakami on flies. Takuya Kai singled and stole second, then Olympic MVP Tetsuto Yamada singled Kai in. He struck out Hayato Sakamoto to prevent further damage. In the 9th, he was relieved by long-time big leaguer Oliver Pérez.
