The Angels apparently took the criticism of their pitching staff to heart.During the 2021 MLB Draft, Los Angeles had 20 picks during the 20-round affair. With each selection, the Angels drafted a pitcher. They didn' Paulo Orlando Jersey t take a single position player.2021 MLB DRAFT: Los Angeles has long had a problem finding strong starting pitchers, and the problem has reached critical ma s in 2021. The team has two of the best players in baseball in its lineup AL MVP front-runnerShohei Ohtani and three-time MVP Mike Trout but thepitching just isn't Michael Saunders Jersey good enough to make the Angelsa playoff contender.That'swhy they're sitting at 45-44 in fourth place and nine games back of the pace in the AL West. They simply haven't gotten quality starts from most of their staff. Even Ohtani, who is ,has only started 13 games and pitched 67 innings on the year.The Angels have a team ERA of 4.89 this season. That ranks fifth-worst in MLB ahead of only the Twins, Royals, Diamondbacks and Orioles. Their pitchers have walked 357 batters (third-most in Melky Cabrera Jersey the league) and no MLB team has fewer than their one shutout.Needle s to say, Los Angeles had to overhaul its pitching staff if itwants to build a contender.As such, investing heavily in pitching makes sense.At least someof the 20 pitching prospects the Angels draftedshould pan out. They added quantity, and Homer Bailey Jersey now they can sort through the prospects in hopes of finding quality.The Angels are the third team in the past two years to spend their selections exclusively on pitchers. The Marlins and White Sox are the other two and both did so during the 2020 MLB Draft.Of course, the 2020 draft was only five total rounds. So, the Marlins took home six new pitching prospects while the White Sox ended up with five in the abbreviated draft.The Angels' strategy Adalberto Mondesi Jersey is certainly more bold, but it just might be crazy enough to work.
