2021 Player Review: Packy Naughton
Photo by Michael Owens/Getty ImagesAfter being acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in 2020 for a package that included outfielder Brian Goodwin, Packy Naughton got his first taste of the Angels organization by pitching for Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake to get the year started. In 14 total games (10 starts), the Boston, MA native went 2-2 with a 4.90 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 60.2 innings pitched. His best performance down in the minors was on May 23 with the Bees as they were on the road against the Las Vegas Aviators. Naughton completed 7.2 innings, allowing only two base runners (one walk and one hit) and striking out a season-high of eight.
