Angels’ No. 2 Pick: Final MLB Mock Draft Zeroes in on College Lefties
Angels’ No. 2 Pick: Final MLB Mock Draft Zeroes in on College Lefties
As the 2025 MLB Draft rapidly approaches, the Los Angeles Angels are reportedly eyeing a potential shift in their usual first-round strategy. While traditionally favoring advanced college players ready for quick big-league impact, whispers suggest the Angels might consider top high school shortstops, with Eli Willits leading that group.
However, the prevailing sentiment from MLB Pipeline’s final predictions points towards a college left-handed pitcher for the Angels’ crucial No. 2 overall pick. Should the Washington Nationals select a highly-touted prospect like Anderson, attention for the Angels could pivot to Tennessee southpaw Liam Doyle or Jamie Arnold. Doyle, who attended the Draft Combine but reportedly did not complete his medical evaluation there, presents an intriguing financial scenario. Similar to other prospects like Eli Willits and Ike Irish, Doyle’s draft slot might not be guaranteed the standard 75% of the $10,252,700 value, potentially allowing the Angels to secure a significant saving and reallocate funds for deeper draft picks.
