Mike, Matt Angle is certainly having a fine season in Aberdeen. My concern with Angle is that he’s primarily a singles hitter hitting .308 with only a .351 slugging average, with only six of his 57 hits going for extra bases. At 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, it’s doubtful Angle will develop much more power, which significantly limits his value. Angle has an advanced approach at the plate, which is apparent from his high walk rate and ability to control the srike zone. His speed is a good attribute, as it makes him a threat on the bases and gives him plus range in center field, but Angle may be simply be a case of an advanced college hitter (Ohio State) beating up on weaker New York-Penn League pitching.
