José Juan Arredondo (born March 12, 1984) is a Dominican Major League Baseball relief pitcher for the York Revolution of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He also played for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and the Cincinnati Reds.
Arredondo was signed as a non-drafted free agent by the Angels on June 25, 2002.
Arredondo made his major league debut against the Chicago White Sox on May 14, 2008, at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. He surrendered a home run to Nick Swisher, the first batter he ever faced.
Arredondo earned his first career victory on May 26, 2008, against the Detroit Tigers in Anaheim, throwing two perfect innings of relief in an Angels' 1–0 12-inning victory. On June 28, he pitched in relief of Jered Weaver and combined with Weaver to not allow a hit against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but still lost the game 1–0. This was only the fourth time an eight-inning no-hitter had ever been lost due to the home team winning the game, and the first as a combined no-hitter. Because the Angels did not pitch nine innings, it is not officially considered a no-hitter.
Arredondo finished the season with a 10–2 record and a 1.62 ERA. He was considered to be a potential closer until the Angels signed Brian Fuentes.
Although Arredondo came off a stellar 2008 rookie season, he struggled in spring training with diminished velocity and poor control. Following a rough start to the 2009 season, Arredondo was optioned to the Angels' Triple-A affiliate, the Salt Lake Bees, on June 10. Soon after, an MRI revealed a sprained ligament in his elbow.
