Career[edit]

Atlanta Braves[edit]

On July 2, 2014, Rangel signed with the Atlanta Braves as an international free agent.[1] He made his professional debut with the rookie-level Gulf Coast Braves in 2015, and spent the next two seasons with them. In 26 combined games, he recorded a 4.35 ERA with 51 strikeouts in 42+23 innings of work.[2]

Rangel spent the 2017 season with the Single-A Rome Braves, making 15 appearances (13 starts) and logging a 4.71 ERA with 48 strikeouts in 70+23 innings pitched.[3] Rangel returned to Rome in 2018, making 25 appearances (22 starts) and registering a 5–7 record and 4.09 ERA with 105 strikeouts in 125+133 innings of work.[4] He spent a third straight season in Rome in 2019, pitching in 28 games (24 starts) and posting a 10–7 record and 4.51 ERA with 121 strikeouts in 131+23 innings of work.[5]

Rangel did not play in a game in 2020 due to the cancellation of the minor league season because of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Rangel split the 2021 season between the Double-A Mississippi Braves and Rome, posting a cumulative 7–7 record and 3.87 ERA with 136 strikeouts in 104+23 innings pitched across 22 games (21 starts).[7]

On November 6, 2021, the Braves added Rangel to their 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.[8] He was optioned to the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers to begin the 2022 season.[9] He pitched in only one game for Gwinnett before being demoted to the Double-A Mississippi Braves. In 26 starts for Mississippi, Rangel registered a 5–8 record and 5.26 ERA with 139 strikeouts in 114+23 innings pitched. On September 24, 2022, Rangel was promoted to the major leagues for the first time after Spencer Strider was placed on the injured list.[10] He went unused out of the bullpen and was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on September 27, becoming a phantom ballplayer.[11] On November 18, Rangel was non-tendered by the Braves and became a free agent.[12]

Rangel re-signed with the Braves on a minor league contract on November 29, 2022.[13] He was assigned to Double-A Mississippi to begin the 2023 season.[14] In 26 games split between Mississippi and Gwinnett, Rangel accumulated 4–16 record and 4.61 ERA with 140 strikeouts across 127.0 innings of work. He elected free agency following the season on November 6.[15]
