Angels’ Samy Natera Jr. Strikes Out A Pair
Angels lefthander Samy Natera Jr. wasn’t the biggest name at last year’s Arizona Fall League, but he certainly did enough to raise eyebrows. The 25-year-old New Mexico State alum finished his term with Mesa with 17 strikeouts and just five hits allowed over a dozen innings. On Tuesday, he made his spring debut and struck out a pair of Guardians. He also allowed a home run to Jhonkensy Noel. Eleven of the 12 pitches Natera threw were four-seam fastballs, which ranged between 94-96 mph. Both of his strikeouts were swinging on fastballs.
