The Los Angeles Angels drafted one of the Joyce brothers in 2022. They grabbed the other one on Tuesday.
The Angels selected Zach Joyce in the 14th round after they took his twin brother, Ben, in the third round of last year's amateur draft. Zach Joyce helped the University of Tennessee reach the College World Series this season, going 1-0 with a 4.35 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 10u2153 innings over 13 appearances.
"The story of it being with Ben and being his brother is great, but this was a guy that regardless of any connection to the Angels, I was targeting him as a guy that could help us for sure," said Tim McIlvaine, the director of amateur scouting for the Angels.
