The Ruthian exploits of two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani, a unanimous choice for American League Most Valuable Player in 2021, couldn’t prevent the Angels from suffering a sixth straight losing season and seventh without a playoff berth.
But the Angels did make significant changes, including implementing a more aggressive pitching mindset, highlighted by a 2021 draft class in which all 20 picks were pitchers—all but one from the college ranks—in a clear attempt to address a longstanding shortage of pitching in the organization.
Today, we unveil the 10 best prospects in the Angels system as it enters 2022.
