Nolan Ryan won 138 and Jared Weaver has 112 to date, but we will give the spotlight to the pitcher with the most wins in Angels history right now, Chuck Finley.
Chuck Finley wore the Angels uniform from 1986-1999. In that time he won 165 games for the Halos, the most all-time. Finley was a four time all-star as an Angel. His finest season was in 1990, when he won 18 games to just 9 losses and posted a 2.40 ERA — to date, the lowest by an Angel left-hander on a season, surpassing Frank Tanana's 2.43 in 1976. In 1993 Finley led the major leagues in complete games with 13. However, Finley will always be famous for being the first pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball to record 4 strikeouts in a single inning more than once; he accomplished the feat 3 times in 2 year.
He would play for the Indians and Cardinals until his final season in 2002. He entered into the Angels Hall of Fame in 2009.
