Andrew Heaney was born June 5, 1991, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is a pitcher in the MLB.
On June 5, 2018, the day of his 27th birthday, Heaney pitched a one-hit complete game shutout as the Angels won 1–0 over the Kansas City Royals. Heaney was the only Angels starter to start 30 games in 2018. He finished the 2018 season 9–10 with an ERA of 4.15 and 180 strikeouts in 180 innings.
On July 6, 2019, Heaney became the first pitcher to start after the passing of fellow left-hander Tyler Skaggs. His first pitch against George Springer of Houston Astros was mimicking an overhand and slow curveball, which was Skaggs' best pitch, and was unchallenged with no swing. In 18 starts, Heaney was 4–6 with a 4.91 ERA.
Heaney was named the Angels' opening day starter for the 2020 season. In the 3–7 no-decision loss to the Oakland Athletics, Heaney pitched 4+2⁄3 innings, striking out 6 batters and allowing 1 run. He finished the shortened season with a record of 4–3 in 12 starts. He struck out 70 batters in 66+2⁄3 innings.
On July 30, 2021, Heaney was traded to the New York Yankees in exchange for Janson Junk and Elvis Peguero. On August 12, Heaney was the starting pitcher in the first Field of Dreams game in Dyersville, Iowa against the Chicago White Sox.
On November 10, 2021, Heaney signed a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Heaney signed a 2 year deal with the Rangers following the 2022 season. On April 10, 2023, Heaney recorded 9 consecutive strikeouts in a game against the Kansas City Royals, which tied the American League record and set the franchise record. Heaney would go on to win the World Series with the Rangers later that year.
