When the Angels announced their September call-ups, Caden Dana was a notable exclusion from the list. Despite a recent 13 strikeout performance, the Halos elected to leave their top pitching prospect in the minor leagues for now, and potentially the rest of 2025. However, next season needs to be the opportunity for Dana to show this organization and the league at large what he can offer as a starting pitcher.
Caden Dana got his first crack at starting at the big league level in 2024, getting added to the roster late into the season with the Angels well out of playoff contention.
