O’Neal, 58, rotated play-by-play duties with lead voice Wayne Randazzo and also handled pre- and postgame hosting responsibilities on Angels telecasts. He has simultaneously contributed to Los Angeles Kings hockey broadcasts.

“The Angels organization would like to thank Patrick O’Neal for his 13 years of dedication to the Angels broadcast team,” the club said in a statement. “He brought a sense of pride to each telecast, something that was felt by Angels fans watching at home.”

In a statement posted to X, O’Neal wrote: “Thank you to the Angels for the amazing broadcast opportunities. I cherish every moment and every friend I made. It’s the great people I will miss the most. Chopping it up talking baseball with some of the best to ever do it. It will be hard to replace that. Go Halos!”

The Angels entered Wednesday with a 16-27 record, tied for the worst mark in Major League Baseball and on pace for an 11th straight losing season. In March, the club named longtime executive Molly Jolly as president, succeeding John Carpino.

O’Neal is a two-time LA Area Emmy Award winner and six-time nominee. He is the son of the late Academy Award-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal, who died in 2023 at age 82, and the half-brother of actress Tatum O’Neal.
