The draft takes place July 11-13th in Philadelphia
Here are three players that the Angels should draft if they are available.
Vahn Lackey – CA Georgia Tech
Vahn Lackey has been dominating this year. Lackey already has 9 home runs beating his total from last year (6). He’s batting 459/583/932 with a 1.516 OPS.
Angels should target him as one of their prospects. He definitely has all-star potential as a pro
Sawyer Strosnider – OF Texas Christian (TCU)
Sawyer Strosnider has been a having great start to his season. He has 6 home runs already and batting 333/500/712 with a 1.212 OPS, with 7 stolen bases already. Could have potential to be a 5 tool player
Ace Reese – 3B Mississippi State
Ace Reese is an underrated hitting prospect coming into this draft. He is ranked 18th best draft prospect. Last year Ace hit 21 home runs while batting 352/422/718 with a 1.140 OPS.
Right now, Reece has 6 home runs and batting 370 with a 1.181, with 11 doubles. This could instantly solve the Angels problem at third base. Lefty bat with a solid glove at third. If I were the Angels, I would still keep in an eye on him during the season.
