As the Angels have had their fair share of pitching troubles in the major leagues during the 2025 season, one name that fans were hoping could help at some point was right-handed pitching prospect George Klassen. The 23-year old was a riser in the Angels’ farm system last year after the team acquired him from the Philadelphia Phillies, but the 2025 season has been a rollercoaster for the University of Minnesota product. Nevertheless, Klassen has been able to finish his season on a relatively strong note as of late.

Klassen’s season came to a screeching halt when he took a line drive to the head during a start on May 11th.
