Amateur career

Bandy attended Thousand Oaks High School in Thousand Oaks, California. The Los Angeles Dodgers selected him in the 41st round of the 2008 Major League Baseball draft, but he did not sign. Bandy enrolled at University of Arizona, and played college baseball for the Arizona Wildcats.[1]

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim / Los Angeles Angels

The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim selected Bandy in the 31st round of the 2011 MLB Draft.[2] He signed with the Angels and made his professional debut with the Arizona League Angels and also played for the Orem Owlz of the Pioneer League. He played for the Salt Lake Bees in 2011 and Inland Empire 66ers in 2012. Bandy played for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers in both 2013 and 2014.[3]

Bandy made his Major League debut on September 14, 2015. In 2016, he batted .234/.281/.392 in 209 at bats.[4]

Milwaukee Brewers

On December 13, 2016, Bandy was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for Martín Maldonado and Drew Gagnon.[5] He began the 2017 season splitting playing time at catcher with Manny Piña.[6] Following the acquisition of Stephen Vogt, formerly of the Oakland Athletics, and due in part to a recent slump, Bandy was optioned down to the Triple-A Colorado Springs Sky Sox on June 25.[7] Bandy, however, was recalled from the Sky Sox after Vogt went on the disabled list for neck and leg injuries on July 17.[8]

On May 25, 2018, Bandy was designated for assignment.[9]
